The Great Powers did not want to be persuaded by the middle and the minor monarchs, as this would distract them too much from their own interaction within the ‘pentacracy’: Russia, Austria, Prussia, Great Britain, and France. In some cases the direct channel of persuasion has been deliberately put out of order for example in the Congress of Vienna after the Fall of Napoleon. There are many reasons why indirect approaches could be more successful than direct interaction, but these are situational exceptions to the rule that direct contact is preferable. Or perhaps the one who wants to convince the other is of lower rank – or much younger – and culturally speaking it would not be done to address the higher ranking diplomat in a direct way without an intermediary. For example because the relationship between the negotiators is not good and therefore a person friendly to the target of persuasion might be more successful. In some cases such indirect influence might be more effective than direct ‘confrontation’. For example through written messages, other negotiators, perhaps members of the delegation of the one who should be persuaded to change their opinion and course. This does not mean that persuasion through indirect channels would not be possible … it is.
