The Russian tsar and the Austrian minister

[edit]

What do we mean by saying that the treaty was signed "by Alexander I (with Metternich)"? What does it mean for a minister in Austrian service to sign a treaty "with" the ruler of Russia? Binabik80 (talk) 14:06, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsensical statement "The Treaty called for Napoleon to give up all conquests"

[edit]

This "Tready of Chaumont" is a treaty between the four warring parties against Napoleon, and there is no idea in it of demands or requests made to France. The warring parties agree not to act alone against France, but "in concert", and that the English crown is promising the continental allies of England a subsidy in money for their war efforts. So this whole chunk

The Treaty called for Napoleon to give up all conquests, thus reverting France to her pre-revolutionary borders, in exchange for a cease-fire. If Napoleon rejected the treaty, the Allies pledged to continue the war. The following day Napoleon rejected the treaty, ending his last chance of a negotiated settlement

has to go. Also the following paragraph about the Vienna Congress had to be modified thoroughly. --L.Willms (talk) 14:39, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Members of The Holy Alliance

[edit]

Was the United Kingdom part of The Holy Alliance? I think it was not. Also it implies the Alliance was forged at Chaumont; I believe coincidentally three members went onto create the alliance later on but that Chaumont was a much practical set of terms solely to defeat Napoleon I and any successors (as is mentioned above it was not a set of terms for a conditional peace based on the Emperor giving up sections of France that the Fourth Coalition wanted him to cede.)
