Profile portraits of three plotters who tried to blow up Russian & Danish ships frozen at anchor in Copenhagen harbour during the Russo-Swedish War in 1789. Lars Benzelstierna (1759-1808), conspiring with an Irish innkeeper called Shields, purchased a cutter from another Irishman, a captain called O'Brien, using money provided by Sweden king Gustaf III. He planned to fill it with explosives and move it among the Russian ships, invite Russian officers aboard and blow them up. However O'Brien mentioned the plot to an Englishman, who had him arrested. Benzelstierna hid in the Swedish embassy but eventually gave himself up and was sentenced to death by beheading, the ladder and wheel. However the sentence was commuted on appeal; he was pardoned in 1796 when the political situation between Sweden and Denmark changed.

At this time Berlin was the capital of Prussia. The seat of the electors of Brandenburg (after 1701, kings of Prussia) from 1486, Berlin suffered from the Thirty Years War (1618-48), but the reign of Frederick William (1640-88), the Great Elector, restored and improved the city. Occupied in the Seven Years War by Austrian (1757) and Russian (1760) troops and in the Napoleonic Wars by the French (1806-8), Berlin emerged from the conflicts as a center of German Culture, rivalling Vienna.

Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck (1815-1898) was a Prussian German statesman and aristocrat of the 19th century. As Ministerpräsident of Prussia from 1862-1890, he oversaw the unification of Germany. In 1867 he became Chancellor of the North German Confederation. When the German Empire was formed in 1871, he served as its first Chancellor until 1890 and practiced Realpolitik, which gained him the nickname "The Iron Chancellor". As Chancellor, Bismarck held an important role in the German government and greatly influenced German and international politics both during and after his time of service. The Treaty of Versailles of 1871 ended the Franco-Prussian War and was signed by Adolphe Thiers, of the French Third Republic, and Otto von Bismarck, of the German Empire on February 26, 1871. This was a preliminary treaty used to solidify the initial armistice of January 27, 1871 between the two states. It was later ratified by the Treaty of Frankfurt on May 10 of the same year. The 1871 Treaty of Versailles made the decline of France obvious to the rest of the continent, and at the same time demonstrated the strength of a unified German empire. Paris's governing body, the Government of National Defense, initiated the armistice by surrendering to the Germans after the siege of Paris. Jules Favre, a prominent French politician, met with Otto von Bismarck in Versailles to sign the armistice to be put into effect January 28, 1871.
