The Congress of Vienna and Its Legacy: War and Great Power Diplomacy After Napoleon Jarrett Mark
In September 1814, the rulers of Europe and their ministers descended upon Vienna after two decades of revolution and war. Inevitably, all of the major decisions were made by the leading statesmen of the five 'great powers'-Castlereagh, Metternich, Talleyrand, Hardenberg and Tsar Alexander of Russia. Their task was to redraw continental borders following the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire.
Over the next seven years, Europe witnessed unrest in Germany, Britain, and France, and revolution in Latin America, Spain, Portugal, Naples, Piedmont, Greece, and Romania. The territorial reconstruction of Europe marks only one part of this story. Against this backdrop, the Congress of Vienna was followed by an audacious experiment in international cooperation and counter-revolution, known as the 'Congress System'.
This system marked the first genuine attempt to forge an 'international order'
