The city was also important as the crowning place of a number of German emperors. In the year 1372, Frankfurt became an imperial city. The city experienced and witnessed a series of Napoleonic wars and it was after the death of Napoleon that Franffurt was included in the German Confederation as a free city.
In 1866, Frankfurt was captured by Prussia and by French troops in the First World War. In the World War II, the city was destroyed in aerial bombing, but the city came back to normal position with a new architectural style.
