Zollverein
Zollverein (German for "customs union") or German Customs Union was formed between the 39 states of the German Confederation in 1834 during the Industrial Revolution to remove internal customs barriers, although upholding a protectionist tariff system with foreign trade partners. The main ideological contributor behind the customs union was Friedrich List, an economist holding mercantilist and protectionist views.
