 The Hanseatic League is most closely aligned with which form of government?
From the middle of the 13th century, and for some 300 years after, many settlements dotted along this route formed the prosperous Hanseatic League, a European trading confederation of market towns, before the rise of the nation state led to its dissolution. In the traumatised atmosphere of post-Brexit Britain, it is worth remembering the Hanseatic League. In the late 1300s, Chaucer wrote about characters travelling to Jerusalem, and others who came from Europe; and it was at exactly this point that the Hanseatic League slowly started to coalesce, eventually influencing our isles. The Hanseatic cities developed their own legal system, and their armies came to one another's aid. The cities involved in the Hanseatic League are found along the Baltic and North Sea coasts, and slightly inland too.
