Detailed Solution

It is false that the Zollverein formed in 1834, abolished the feudal system.
The Zollverein, a German customs union, was formed under the Prussian leadership in 1834, and most of the German states joined this. In this union, they abolished the tariff barriers for trade and reduced the number of currencies. The purpose of this union was to extend the nation's capital goods and internal affairs to make it a unified nation. Through this, economic nationalism was strengthened and it grew the sentiments of the nationalists. It also protected the external interests. The free trade between the neighbouring states without any obstacles caused a major change in the weights and measurements of goods.
