 | Raksha Chopra answered |
Zollverein, German word for customs union, established by Prussia in the 19th century. In 1818 Prussia began trying to create a customs union that would include other German states. Central and southern German states feared Prussian domination and formed rival unions, but these unions had little success in attracting members. In 1834 Prussia formally established the Zollverein, and within seven years it included most of the German states. The Zollverein levied tariffs on goods coming into the member states and distributed the income from the tariffs among the states according to their populations. The economic cooperation that the Zollverein created among the German states paved the way for their political unification in 1871.
