I'm doing research for a possible TL with a longer the Concert of Europe and am trying to find out how the sites for the congresses were chosen. Of the five congresses one took place in Prussia (Aix-la-Chapelle) while the other four (Vienna, Toppau, Laibach and Verona) met in the Austrian Empire. So was that due to Metternich's influence or was there any other circumstances that influenced this? Also, in the event of a continuing cycle of conferences, would they also take place in Austria or would the other Great powers begin to host? Finally, I know there was a proposed congress on the Greek independence war in 1825 that the British ultimately vetoed (much to Alexander I of Russia's fury), so was it's location already chosen?
