| | Wikipedia: Congress of Vienna |
 | | The Congress was concerned with determining the entire shape of Europe after the Napoleonic wars, with the exception of the terms of peace with France, which had already been decided by the Treaty of Paris, signed a few months earlier, on May 30, 1814. |
 | | At the congress, Britain was represented first by the Foreign Secretary, Lord Castlereagh, after February 1815, by the Duke of Wellington, and in the last weeks, after Wellington left to meet Napoleon, by Lord Clancarty. |
 | | In exchange, the Prussians would receive as compensation all of Saxony, whose King was considered to have forfeited his throne because he had not abandoned Napoleon soon enough. |
