    The Bavarian ruling family had Napoléon Bonaparte to thank for its royal kingly title. In 1805/06 under the French emperor the duke became King Maximillian I Joseph. Napoléon was quite sympathetic to the Bavarians, who belonged to his Rhine Confederation. As thanks for the support offered in his conquests, Bavaria was able to expand its territorial claims, annexing areas of Swabia, Franconia, and Austria. Then Bavaria changed sides during the Wars of Liberation. It had to return Austrian territories. As compensation however it obtained the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and the Palatinate to the left of the Rhine. In 1849 Prussian troops suppressed the uprising in the Palatinate. In 1866, Bavaria fought on the side Austria against Prussia, however as opposed to other countries, it remained independent after the defeat. In 1871, the German Empire granted Bavaria special rights; for example it retained an independent postal service and the Royal Bavarian State Railway. The house of Wittelsbach was able to maintain its power until the revolution of 1918. In 1835 the first railroad was built between Nürnberg and Fürth; its locomotives came from England. The Ludwig Railway was a private initiative, and additional routes were also built on private initiative. However the State paid to build the North-South connection from Hof to Lindau, via Nürnberg and Augsburg. After a few years the State again granted priority to private initiative, as the public coffers were empty. The most significant private railway, the East Railway, opened up the Bavarian Forest. Later, as was the case with the other railways, it came under State ownership.
