The Holy Roman Empire was irrevocably dissolved in the Napoleonic Era for which of the following reasons?
  1. Napoleon's reallocation of territory fragmented the remaining pieces.
  2. The Ottoman Empire overran and completely absorbed it.
  3. Growing nationalist movements made it impossible to maintain.
  4. The Holy Roman Emperor surrendered to Napoleon.
  5. The Catholic Church had lost all political power.
Explanation
Answer: A - The Holy Roman Empire dissolved because Napoleon reallocated the remaining pieces of it. The rise of Prussia in the second half of the 18th century had substantially weakened Austria. By 1806, Napoleon had given Venetia to Italy and elevated Bavaria and Wurttemberg to kingdoms and Baden to a grand duchy. This removed essential pieces from Austria, which would never fully regain its prominence.
