Question

What was the name for a group of german towns whose people worked to encourage trade in their regions

Answer 1

The correct answer is the Hanseatic League.

The Hanseatic League was formed in the 1100s and existed as a confederation of merchant towns in modern-day Germany until the late 15th-century.

The Hanseatic League can be seen as a modern precursor to the European Union, that is, a confederation of economic interests that work to provide mutual benefit.
