Description
Frankfurt am Main is a large city in the state of Hesse, in west central Germany. Charlemagne held an Imperial Assembly there in 794. It was made a Free City of the Empire in 1372. Napoleon made it into a Duchy. After the Congress of Vienna it became a sovereign state until it was annexed by Prussia in 1866.
The political arrangements that resulted in the nations of modern Europe began to emerge out of local autonomy starting in the 7th century AD or so. Europe, for our purposes, stretches from Greenland to somewhere in Russia. Collectors of Europe would likely include Russia. Collectors of Asia, even though about 2/3 of Russia is in Asia, probably not.
