Learn more about the Holy Roman Empire, wherein during the middle ages were considered the "superpower" of their time. At it's height, the Holy Roman Empire consisted of eastern France, all of Germany, northern Italy and parts of western Poland.

The Empire lasted from the early middle ages to the 19th century and was formally dissolved on August 6, 1806 when the last Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II, abdicated following a military defeat by the French under Napoleon. Upon its collapse, the following nations emerged: Switzerland, Holland, the Austrian Empire, Belgium, the Prussian Empire, Principality of Liechtenstein, Confederation of the Rhine and the first French Empire.
