[edit] Proposed merger with Reichsdeputationshauptschluss

  • Support. Although mediatisation may refer to the annexation/subordination of territories in general, and acts of mediatisation occurred both before and after the Napoleonic era, the term is used primarily in modern European history to refer to mediatisations which occurred toward the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, and which were associated with the termination of the Holy Roman Empire. Moreover, the German Mediatisation article focuses mostly on that period. The 1803 Reichsdeputationshauptschluss was one of the major legal instruments that effected the mediatisations of that era. Therefore it should be integrated into the German Mediatisation article.Lethiere 22:13, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
