The North German Federation (1867–1871) was a short-lived state, established in 1867. First it was a military alliance. Prussia and its allies (15 members: Prussia, Saxony, Hesse, Bremen, Hamburg, Lübeck, etc. ) founded this Federation (or confederation with a constitution) after the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.
During four years its major action existed in legislation unifying Northern Germany. As part of the Austro-Prussian War Prussia had annexed most of its adversaries territories north of the river Main.
