I've heard it described as Prussia wanting to annex all of Saxony, which Austria opposed

..and Russia wanting all of Poland, which Austria, Britain, and France opposed.

The Prussian demand is simple enough. Had they gotten all Saxony, they would have had a longer common border with Bohemia and a common border with Bavaria.

But what was the shape of the "Poland" that Tsar Alexander wanted?

Was it every square inch of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? Prussia was kopacetic with having a Russian corridor through Danzig separating East Prussia from Pomerania? Seems hard to believe.

Did the Russians want/expect to absorb Galicia from Austria? If so, what were they offering in return, if anything? It would seem logical to expect the Austrians would never agree to ceding Galicia without massive territory compensation, or that they would agree at all.

If Prussia and Russia had not backed down when opposed diplomatically by the Austrians, French and British, and the Prussians proceeded to occupy all of Saxony, could Prussia have been dislodged from it by military means? If the Russians absorbed and refused to yield whatever greater portion of Poland they wanted, be it Posen, or West Prussia or Galicia, could they have been dislodged by military means?

Would/could Britain have launched economic warfare or a blockade that would be crippling in any way to those two food self-sufficient states, Prussia and Russia?
