The Opponents Tea Party
Tsar Alexander I Of
Russia:
Alexander I (Tsar between 1801-1825) was distrusted by some other leaders and appeared to veer between autocratic intentions and more liberal ones. He favoured Russian expansion into south-east Asia and greater Russian control of Polish territories (together with dividing any possible unity between German states, to thus limit threats to Russia).
Frederick William III of
Prussia:
Prussia were still very much regarded as a weaker power and thus the King of Prussia was principally concerned with not alienating and offending the powerful Russia. A key priority for Prussia involved the harsh punishment of France and potential opportunities for Prussian expansionism into Northern German territories.Slide4
The Opponents Tea Party
Prince Metternich of Austria:
Metternich was the ‘chief’ minister of Europe at this point and ran the Congress (on behalf of his Emperor Francis I of Austria). Austria was a diverse Empire, of various nationalities, and Metternich was principally concerned with limiting any possible spread of liberal & national ideals. He wanted to prevent any growth in power of Prussia and Russia, and for Austria to hold the balance of power in Europe.
Lord
Castlereagh
of
Britain:
Castlereagh
was British Foreign Secretary and an important statesman involved in the coalition defeating Napoleon. Like Austria,
Castlereagh
(and Britain) wished to pursue stability in Europe and aim to preserve their colonial & naval superiority.Slide5
Duke of Wellington:
He represented Britain at the Vienna Congress after Lord
Castlereagh
returned to Britain in February 1815 (the Congress would go on until June 1815). Wellington himself would then leave Vienna to face the threat from Napoleon after he escaped from Elba in March 1815 (to embark upon the so-called 'Hundred Days'). Wellington's view centred on allowing France to remain as a pivotal European power.
Charles Talleyrand-Perigord of France:
Talleyrand represented Louis XVIII at the Vienna Congress, being careful to not show any allegiance to the defeated Napoleon, and conducted himself with considerable skill and aplomb in his dealings with the other great powers. Whilst initially excluded from the main
talks
and debates, he quickly ingratiated himself with the leading parties and argued vigorously in favour of France remaining a strong power, with a legitimate ruling monarchy and the right to defend itself from Prussian aggression.

begins:
A
summary of your views at the Congress of
Vienna.
Your

Vienna.
Some

Review
Now
position your self around the table. If you agree with a different representative at the Congress of Vienna, align yourself with them.
If you disagree, move far away from them!
If you oppose them directly you may wish to sit opposite them…..Slide8
