Answer:

C) No, because the congress actually just took all the land won in the war and distributed it to the war’s victors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Friedrich von Gentz ​​was a German writer, publicist and politician belonging to the so-called German Romantic School.

In its beginnings it defended the liberalism but from its translation of the book of Edmund Burke Reflections on the French Revolution it became a standard of the Counterrevolution. He was the founder of some German publications, such as the Neue Deutsche Monatsschrift (1795) and, above all, the Historisches Journal (1799) where he became known as a counterrevolutionary politician.

His two great political books are On the origin and character of the war against the French Revolution and the most important for the relevance it will have during his period when he was Metternich's agent Political status before and after the French Revolution.

In his political evolution, like other German romantics, he theorized about the idealized medieval-feudal state very similar to the structure of the Germany of his time: the post-Napoleonic German Union Bonaparte and the prior to the Unification of Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century.
