VII. The Congress of Vienna
Directions: After Napoleon’s defeat, leaders and diplomats from Europe met to decide what to do next. This occurred at the Congress of Vienna in 1814-1815. Explain how and why Congress leaders Klemens von Metternich & Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord achieved each goal.
Klemens von Metternich: Goal-to restore conservative order, suppress the spread of democracy and nationalism sparked by the French Revolution, and reestablish a stable balance of power so no single country (like France) could dominate Europe again. How+Why- As the host and master diplomat, Metternich used the principles of legitism (restoring traditional hereditary monarchs to their thrones) and a strong balance of power. He formed conservative alliances and created buffer states around France (such as strengthening the Netherlands and the German Confederation) to prevent future revolutions and protect Austria’s multinational empire from dissolving.
