Few know that in 1815, when the Great Powers convened the Congress of Vienna, they constructed the political landscape of Europe to end and hopefully prevent further Napoleonianic War by settling territorial and political issues in an intriguing way. They did it by playing games of Trouble. It was pretty effective, even with constant cheating by Austrian Statesman Metternich. #Boskifacts #Whoknew #boardgames #congressofvienna #napoleonicwars # Vienna #troublegame #Metternich #tallyrand #AlexanderI #Castlereagh #dontcheatatboardgames
