The Romans invaded in 15 BC, but with the coming of Christianity in the 4th century AD, Germanic tribes pushed the Romans out, bringing the area under the control of the German dukedom. Prince Johann Adam of Liechtenstein purchased the land and created the Principality of Liechtenstein in 1719, which Napoleon conquered in 1806. After the defeat, Liechtenstein became part of the German Confederacy in 1815 and was granted a constitution in 1862. It separated from Germany for good in 1866 when the German Confederation dissolved.
