Duchy of Warsaw

piece of valuable land that could be the tipping point of the power in Europe.

Returning to the Partition of 1793, it would restore Polish territories to the original owners and balance the the power in Eastern Europe. ( Hill). I believe that this is the best possibility because, Poland is too big of a country to give to one King, balance must come in the form of equal land acquisition. Britain would like Poland to become independent, and retain the borders of the Napoleonic grand duchy of Warsaw (Zamoyski 161), also Poland would have the backing of Britain.

Also Russia can not have Poland because then Russia would have more power than the other countries. Prussia, was okay that Russia got Poland because they got one third of Saxony with Russia’s help. France is in last place because they did not mention Poland, and they do not deserve to have any decision on what is to happen with Poland. Peace is the only objective and…

Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Liszt, and Verdi. The Medieval era, The Renaissance which signifies “rebirth” also known as the time of cultural awakening finishing off with the Modern Period. On April 12 I attended a piano recital at The New School presented by Julia Hamos a student who at the time was working on a music major. The pianist came out with a lovely dress, before every piece she sat in absolute silence with her eyes closed. She performed the following four pieces BACH: Chromatic…

Napoleon surprised everyone by attacking the unprepared Prussian army in the Prussian land in which the French army won the twin battle of Jena–Auerstedt that lead to the capture of berlin and occupation of Prussia.

Russia, Austria, and Sweden to sign a peace treaty, which also let Napoleon build the largest European empire since that of the Romans.
