Prussia during The Congress of Vienna

Prussia and Russia are in agreement during The Congress of Vienna, both countries believe that they should be compensated for what they lost. The Prussians wanted the large and wealthy kingdom of Saxony and parts of Germany, while the Russians wanted to restore and dominate Poland. These various demands made by Prussia and Russia led Castlereagh and Metternich to opposition and secret alliances. Prussia realized the risk of war ahead and finally settled for only parts of Saxony.
