Unit 5 – Conflict, Crisis, and Reaction in the Late 18th Century
Topic 5.7
What limitations might affect the use of minutes from the Congress of Vienna as a historical source?
Destruction during World War II resulted in loss and damage to many records limiting their usefulness.
Minutes recorded only economic discussions ignoring political or social matters discussed at the congress.
The minutes would be in Latin making it hard for modern historians to interpret them accurately.
Potential bias from those documenting events, focusing primarily on elite perspectives, and lack of views from common people are some limitations affecting its usage as a historical source.
