The victors took rewards from Poland and northern Italy and restored conservative monarchs in France and Spain, with no huge penalty on France, unlike nineteen nineteen. Nationality counted for nothing: northeastern Italy to Austria, Poland divided again, Ireland British.
In practice

Where people slip
