In the eighteenth century, Germany and Italy were fragmented into numerous independent states and principalities, lacking the political unity required for empire-building. The Holy Roman Empire, which encompassed many German states, was a loose confederation with limited centralized power, while Italy was divided into various kingdoms and city-states, each with its own governance. Additionally, both regions faced external pressures and conflicts, such as the War of Spanish Succession and the Napoleonic Wars, which further hindered the formation of unified empires. This fragmentation prevented either nation from establishing a cohesive imperial structure during that period.

The eighteenth century did not mark the beginning of the medieval period; rather, it is typically associated with the Enlightenment and the transition from the early modern period to modernity. The medieval period, or Middle Ages, traditionally spans from the 5th to the late 15th century, following the fall of the Western Roman Empire and preceding the Renaissance. The confusion may arise from discussions of historical periods, but the eighteenth century is characterized by advancements in science, philosophy, and political thought that diverged from medieval traditions.
