Western Germany

A striking map of Western Germany, published by John Arrowsmith. This area had been one of the most stable in Europe and was comprised of the confederation of states as shown on the map. The map shows only states in the western part of Germany, omitting most of the Prussian heartland. The map shows Hanover, Holstein, Brandenburg, Bohemia, Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony and many other states comprising the confederation. Small Prussian enclaves dot the map. The relative stability of this period would be punctuated six years after the publication of this map with the 1848 uprisings. These ill-fated revolutions which centered in the western regions of Germany, notably in Bavaria and Baden, would only lead to reactionary governance in an attempt to stymie further liberal tendencies.
