The Hanseatic League was a commercial confederation among the trade guilds in Northern Europe, mainly in German coastal cities and the Baltic region. It operated between the 13th and 17th centuries, preceding the establishment of most modern nations of the region.

The Hanseatic league formed in mid- 12th century by the German and Scandinavian seafaring merchants. It was more of a league of merchant associations in the cities of northern Germany and the Baltic. They banded together on the trade routes, which were dangerous and risky to travel alone. The league was created to protect commercial interests and privileges granted by foreign rulers in cities and countries the merchants visited.
