Erfurt Union
The Erfurt Union was a Prussian attempt in 1849–1850 to unite the German states, excluding Austria, in a federation under Prussian leadership after King Frederick William IV refused the imperial crown offered by the Frankfurt Parliament. A union parliament met in Erfurt in spring 1850, but Austrian and Russian opposition forced Prussia to abandon the project in the Punctation of Olmütz in November 1850.
