		As a confederation, they occupied what is now Alsace and expanded into northern Switzerland, as well as parts of what are now Bavaria and Austria.
		According to Historia Augusta, which states that the confederates in the third century were still simply called Germani, Proculus, an imperial usurper in 280, derived some of his popularity in Gaul by his guerilla successes against the Alamanni.
		Early in the 5th century the Alamanni appear to have crossed the Rhine river, conquered and then settled what is today Alsace and a large part of Switzerland.

		Confederations tend to be established for dealing with critical issues, such as defence, foreign affairs, foreign trade, and a common currency, with the central government being required to provide support for all members.
		The United States of America was first organized as a confederation under the Articles of Confederation and later became a federation with the ratification of the current Constitution of the United States in 1789.

		It should be noted that most of the records of territories of the Confederation of the Rhine were destroyed, probably because the various princes were embarrassed by their collaboration with the French.
		The entry of a Rhine Republic in 1806 is more than puzzling to me. First, the period of French satellite republics ended in 1804-1806, as Napoleon —having crowned himself emperor in 1804— gradually transformed the existing satellite republics into monarchies for his relatives.
