Answer:
One of the major outcomes of the Congress of Vienna was the creation of German Confederation, a loose association of 39 states designed to coordinate the economies of separate German-speaking countries.
It acted as a buffer between the powerful states of Austria and Prussia to preserve the Concert of Europe.
Most historians have judged the Confederation as weak and ineffective, as well as an obstacle to German nationalist aspirations.
Further efforts to improve the Confederation began in 1834 with the establishment of a customs union, the Zollverein , to manage tariffs and economic policies.
It collapsed due to the rivalry between Prussia and Austria, warfare, the 1848 revolution, and the inability of the multiple members to compromise.
