"Pitt now promoted a solution that was typical of him:  the man who had found an elegant answer to problems such as rising national debt and over-complex taxes could see the solution to the whole European crisis.  He sought nothing less than a huge collective agreement on European peace on the basis of the prewar frontiers -- the status quo ante bellum.  British mediation brought agreement between the Austrians and the Prussians at Reichenbach in July 1790 on exactly this basis."
