France and Russia in the Congress of Vienna
France and Russia did not dispute much over land in the Congress of Vienna. However both countries were battling Prussia in the congress to gain lands each coveted. France wanted to keep their boundaries first of all, but also wanted to gain some lands in the Rhine. Prussia also wanted lands in the Rhine and in Saxony. Russia on the other hand was very interested in Poland. Russia wanted to annex all of the former Duchy of Warsaw and once again Prussia wanted this land as well. In its centralized position in Europe, Prussia had much to gain and wanted a lot of land to add to its Germanic empire.
