The Congress of Verona met at Verona on October 20, 1822 as part of the that opened with the Congress of Vienna in 1814–15, which had instituted the Concert of Europe at the close of the Napoleonic Wars. The Quintuple Alliance was represented by the following persons: * Russia: Emperor Alexander I and Count Karl Robert Nesselrode (minister of foreign affairs). Count George Mocenigo (Ambassador of Russia in Torino), was also present; * Austria: Prince Metternich; * Prussia: Prince Hardenberg and Count Christian Gunther von Bernstorff; * France: The duc de Montmorency-Laval (minister of Foreign Affairs) and François-René de Chateaubriand; * United Kingdom: The Duke of Wellington, who was taking the place of Viscount Castlereagh after his suicide on the eve of the congress. ==Issues == While the representatives of the United Kingdom and the European powers had at first, during the Congress of Vienna, acted largely in concert, the extent to which the concord epitomized in the expression the "Concert of Europe" had unraveled in seven years became apparent in the way in which the three main questions before this Congress were handled. The instructions drawn up by Londonderry, as he then was, for his own guidance, had been handed to Wellington by George Canning without alteration. They defined the United Kingdom's position towards the three questions which it was supposed would be discussed: the Turkish Question (currently surfacing in the Greek insurrection), the question of intervention in favor of the Bourbon royal power in Spain and the revolted Spanish colonies, and the Italian Question. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Congress of Verona」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
