A Franchman on Hardenberg In The Congress of Vienna
I was privileged enough to attend the Congress at Vienna shortly after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. I took special note to Prince Karl von August Hardenberg and his Austrian supporters. They are a burly group, much more masculine and domineering than we sissy Frenchmen. These physical characteristics can be equated to their diplomatic mentality and desire for territorial expansion. Being more specific, their need for the the entire region of Saxony. They petitioned to send every bit of it in their direction but unfortunately only got two fifths of it. I think the Austrians are brutes but I only criticize their awesome masculinity to compensate for my extreme femininity.
