Austria's feelings towards Prussia during the Congress of Vienna


Austria entered into the Congress of Vienna worried about the Russian influence on Prussia and King Frederick III. Austria and Prussia maintained a good working relationship through the Congress of Vienna. With Prussia’s win of the Kingdom of Saxony, Metternich feared an unbalance of power, so Austria and Britain signed a secret alliance. To avoid war Prussia compromised and took only part of Saxony. In 1815 Austria, Prussia and Russia formed the Holy Alliance. The policies Metternich proposed to battle against liberal political change at this time, dominated not only in Austria but the German Confederation, which includes Prussia.

Prussia's Relationship with Austria during the Congress of Vienna


At the Congress of Vienna the Great Powers of Austria, Britain, Prussia, Russia and France gathered to restore the balance of power. Together Prussia and Austria did very well in the Congress of Vienna with there gains in Saxony and Italy. Austria and Prussia had a good working relationship. When the Kingdom of Saxony was rewarded to Prussia, Metternich feared an unbalance of power. Austria and France signed a secret alliance directed against Russia and Prussia. The threat of war caused Russia and Prussia to moderate their demands. Thus, Prussia only took part of the Saxony Kingdom. However, the balance of power was more equal and enabled France to become a Great Power.

Prussia Has Final Defeat Over Napoleonic France in the Congress of Vienna!

Prussia has succeeded in regaining lands taken by Napoleon! Justice was served at the Congress of Vienna and Prussia has been awarded our lands again. Napoleon's wrongdoings as an egotistical imperialistic dictator were finally put to rest as the Congress voted that Prussia get our lands back. We can again work towards victory in becoming a world power. Land equals money equals power- take that Napoleon! I feel a sense of not only pride, but of overall tranquility in that justice has been served and France has been fairly punished. The regaining of our lands leaves me feeling assured that we can rise to great power and gain even more territory.

Results from the Congress of Viena

Ah, alas Prussia has gotten it's land back. What Napoleon took from us, is now back in our hands. With these land gains, our economy should once again regain its footing. Also, Prussia has once again been divided into 10 providence and as a member of the nobility, I will regain my position of power in one of the providences. Even though we have had to forfeit some land to Poland, I am happy with the results of the Congress of Viena. As long as Napoleon is done terrorizing Europe, I am happy.

Prussian Nobel's Views of Napoleon

I am furious at the French and Napoleon alike. Due to his increasing victories in Europe, myself and the other nobles have lost almost half our countries territory. Prussia just received land that was previously controlled by Poland, now we lose it? This is ridiculous. As a majorly agricultural country, this affects everyone, not just the nobility. With these land losses it is guaranteed that the Prussian economy will severely suffer and no one wants this to happen. The country needs to stay strong and keep up it's efforts to put down Napoleon.

What Prussia Thought of Britain During the Congress of Vienna


During the Congress of Vienna, Prussia stuck along with Russia and Austria primarily. Many proposals had to do with Prussia or Russia gaining much land. In doing so, Britain was against the proposals since Britain and France had a plan of their own. Debating different areas of land, resolutions came and in the end each country primarily received what they had wanted in return.

Napoleon Can't Touch Us!

Dear Journal,
I am writing to you in great confidence as my country Prussia, in conjunction with the Fourth Coalition, has defeated the fierce Napoleon. The Enlightenment, independence of America, and the success of the French Revolution has instilled in my country a great sense of nationalism. Our defeat of the seemingly unstoppable Napoleon only confirms this. I can promise grand things for the future of our country as we are gaining more power with each battle won. We have weakened Napoleon's forces and he was defeated once again at the Waterloo. Our win over Napoleon shows our people a prime example of the importance of liberty and equality.

Expect to hear more wonderful advancements in our country in the near future!
