Emperor Napoleon III met the Prince Regent of Prussia and the Kings of Bavaria, Hanover, Saxony, along with other German royalty, at a "Congress of Sovereigns" at Baden in southwest Germany. Requested by the French leader, the meeting was designed to reinforce feelings of goodwill and calm fears in Germany over France's recent actions in Europe, especially the war with Austria the year before.
