Confederation of the Rhine formed; Holy Roman Empire collapses

Liechtenstein joined the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806, a significant step in its historical integration and cooperation policy.

This accession occurred as the Holy Roman Empire fell under French control following Napoleon's crushing defeat of the Austrians at Austerlitz in 1805. It was part of a series of historical stages, including later accession to the German Confederation in 1815 and the Customs Treaty with Switzerland in 1923.
