Answer:
Germany would not have achieved unification as quickly.
Explanation:
German Confederation, an organisation of 39 German states founded in 1815 by the Congress of Vienna to replace the shattered Holy Roman Empire. It was a loose political alliance formed for mutual defence, with no central executive or judicial authority. Delegates convened in a federal assembly presided over by Austria. In the face of growing calls for reform and economic integration, conservative leaders such as Klemens, prince von Metternich, persuaded the confederation's princes to pass the repressive Carlsbad Decrees (1819), and Metternich led the federal assembly in passing additional measures to crush liberalism and nationalism in the 1830s. The Zollverein (a German customs union) was formed in 1834, and the Revolutions of 1848 undermined the confederation. With Prussia's defeat of Austria in the Seven Weeks' War (1866) and the establishment of the Prussian-dominated North German Confederation, it was dissolved.
