 Alexander Fuehr. The Neutrality of Belgium. 1915. Part II. Chapter Six.
Belgium's official claim concerning her perpetual neutrality is that it rests on "the treaties of 1839, confirmed by the treaties of 1870," and that this neutrality is "under the guarantee of the Powers and notably of the Government of His Majesty the King of Prussia."
According to this authority it would seem that whoever considers the Quintuple guarantee as still in force in 1914 would have to admit that, since it did not cover the inviolability of Belgium's frontiers, the German invasion was no violation of Belgium's guaranteed rights.
Asquith, in the House of Commons, attempted to justify England's intervention in the present war by asserting that she was by law and honor bound "to fulfil a solemn international obligation," the British Prime-Minister found himself at complete variance with the previously established state doctrine of his country concerning its obligations resulting from collective guarantees.

Of much greater importance was the extension of the boundaries of Belgium by the absorption of the Congo Free State which, as already stated, was generally considered incompatible with Belgium's status as a neutralized country, and as a de-facto abrogation of her perpetual neutrality.
They knew as well as anybody else that, as far back as 1870, the old Quintuple Guarantee had not been an effective means of safeguarding their neutrality, but that it had required a special measure on the part of England to obtain that purpose.
If, according' to my contention, that guarantee had ceased to exist for her as well as for the other original guarantors, hers is the blame for having instigated the government of a professedly neutral state to abuse the institution of perpetual neutrality, in a plot against another country.

The Congress of Verona was the last of the series of international conferences or congresses that opened with the Congress of Vienna in 1815, during which the Quadruple Alliance of the United Kingdom and the European powers had at first acted largely in concert.
Thus was proclaimed the open breach of the United Kingdom with the principles and policy of the Quintuple Alliance, as it had become with the admission of France in 1818, which is what gives to the congress its main historical interest.
The ensuring French intervention ended with the Battle of Trocadero, which reinstated Ferdinand VII of Spain and opened a reactionary period of Spanish and European politics that led to the Year of Revolutions, 1848.
