Europe After Napoleon

After Napoleon was defeated the Europeans were looking to establish long-lasting peace. The European leaders at the congress of Vienna tired to restore order. The aristocrats met in Austria Vienna. Their goal was to have peace and stability.

France had a goal and they accomplish it by:
1) Preventing future French aggression by surrounding France with stronger countries.
2) restore balance of power, so that no country would be threaten by others.
3) Restore Europe's royal family to the thrones they had held before Napoleon conquest.

The purpose of balance of power was not to weaken France so much. Also if any country got threaten the other countries would help them out. The purpose of legitimacy was to return the power to the king and queen.

For the Europeans the congress of Vienna was a success. It was a successful peace meeting in the history of the world. The Congress of Vienna left a legacy that would influence world politics for the next 100 years.
