"The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor An Empire," Voltaire. It began as an Empire under Charlemagne. When his 3 grandsons divided his empire, it became something like NATO. Like NATO it became a mutual defense pact where some parts would send troops for the common good and some nations would not. Finally Napoleon ended it.
