| Example: The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) aimed to establish a balance of power in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars by redrawing the continent's political map. Key actions included restoring monarchies deposed by Napoleon, such as the Bourbons in France and Spain, and resizing major powers to prevent dominance. Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Britain were given significant territories to maintain equilibrium. The German Confederation was created to replace the dissolved Holy Roman Empire, and buffer states like the Kingdom of the Netherlands were established to contain France. These measures sought to prevent future conflicts and ensure long-term stability in Europe. |
