System of titles of British nobility

What did Britain Want?

• Castlereagh was not fighting over any European
  lands because Great Britain is isolated from the
  rest of Europe.
• What Britain fought for was colonies in Africa
  and Asia.

6
Italy

• Great Britain doesnt care as long as Morat
  (Napoleons brother-in law) is in the throne. He
  is willing to offer parts of Italy to compensate
  Austrias lost territory during the war. He
  supports Bourbon.
• King Ferdinand IV to Nepal to the throne. Pope
  Pipus VII should be the ruler of Papal States.

7
Scandinavia

• Castlereagh doesnt like the Russians
  acquisition of Finland from the Swedes, but its
  not big enough to go to war over. Sweden gets
  Norway in exchange for Finland to Russia. That
  way its no big deal.

8
Switzerland

• Great Britain views Switzerland as a neutral
  state.

9
Croatian and Dalmatian Coasts.

• Britain supports efforts to give the land to
  Austria.

10
Spain and Portugal

• Believes a Bourbon king should be returned to
  rule Spain and a Braganca prince should be in
  charge of Portugal

11
Navy

• Britain had a very large and extensive navy that
  controlled the seas with force. This helped them
  conquer foreign countries relatively easily. It
  also relied on boats for it trade because Great
  Britain is isolated from other European countries.

12
Colonies

• Because Britain was isolated and had a powerful
  navy they did not want any of Europe. It would
  just give diplomats more bickering problems.
  Castlereagh was willing to give some of the
  colonies back to the former owners. Great Britain
  Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, Malta, the
  Ionia Islands , Hapland, Ceyland, and islands in
  the West Indies. It also receives Holland, but
  must give Holland 2 million pounds. Britain
  returns Dutch East Indies to Holland.

13
Reparation

• Though France supported Napoleon, Castlereagh
  didnt want to humiliate the people. Instead he
  thought making a stable and satisfied French
  could bring peace and prosperity. He thinks
  forcing France to pay countries back would hurt
  economy and destabilize the French government
  make people angry. This could lead to revolution.
  Opposes requiring France to pay reparations.

14
Return of Plundered Art

• Nothing was stolen from Great Britain so
  Castlereagh isnt very worried about getting
  treasure back. He is worried about putting
  another Bourbon member on the throne. The Frogs
  are already hesitant. Fears foreign armies
  marching home with masterpieces may infuriate
  French people causing a revolt against Louis
  XVIII.
