The German Confederation was established by the 20-article 9th Act of the Congress of Vienna on 8 June 1815. It replaced the Holy Roman Empire, which dissolved in 1806. Thirty-nine states participated in its founding, with two additions by September. It was a loose organization, particularly because Austria and Prussia feared domination by the other.
