[edit] 1725
The Treaty of Hanover was developed in response to the Treaty of Vienna (June 7, 1725) in which King Philip V of Spain allied himself with Habsburg Austria after his daughter's engagement to Louis XV of France was broken off. This accord was concluded by Great Britain, France and Prussia on September 3, 1725. George I, growing concerned about a potential conflict with Spain, signed the agreement linking France, Sweden, the Netherlands (later acceded) and Denmark together in opposition to Spain.

The Treaty of Hanover ends the War of German Dissolution, which establishes the independence of the various German states, and limits the power of Prussia, though it does maintain the Zollverein, expanding it to Britain, the NEU and Denmark. Even the east and west parts of Prussia itself became separate nations. Oldenburg, in north-west Germany allies with, and is then absorbed by the NEU.
