Under the terms of the Treaty Of Pressburg concluded December 26 , 1805 between Napoleonic France and Holy Roman Emperor Francis II , several Principalities allied to Napoleon were elevated to Kingdoms . One of the staunchest of these had been the Prince-elector of Bavaria, Maximilian IV Joseph, and on January 1 , 1806 , he formally assumed the title King Maximilian I Of Bavaria . Maximilian's successors resisted German nationalism, and Bavaria became the protector of smaller states whose leaders felt threatened by Prussia or Austria in the German Confederation . Religious ties linked the state more to Austria until their defeat in the Austro-Prussian War . King Ludwig II signed an alliance with Prussia on 22 August 1866 , effectively relinquishing Bavarian independence. With the treaty of 23 November 1870 Bavaria was integrated into the new German Empire , but permitted a relatively large degree of self-determination. The Kings of Bavaria maintained their titles, and maintained separate diplomatic and military corps. When the Kaiserreich was abolished in November 1918 after the end of World War I , the last king of Bavaria, Ludwig III , was deposed.
