Prussia And Peace (A Monarch's Journal Entry)

Dear Journal,

The Congress of Vienna was to generate a peace settlement that I, the aristocratic monarch of Prussia would like to uphold. First and foremost, it is with my utmost duty that the other monarchies of Russia, Austria, and Great Britain all hold France in line and limit their power. We need to find a balance of power and justice. Prussia recieved territory on France's eastern border against France. There are unfortunately disputes concerning decisions at the Congress of Vienna. Those disputes will be settled by the Great Powers. Prussia is one of the Great Powers, so I will make sure that Prussia recieves and benefits in all ways possible. Hopefully, the decisions we make will lead to new ideas that motivate the world to change in a positive way.
