Answer 2

Answer:

Following the defect of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism.

Most conservatives, however, did not propose a return to the society of pre-revolutionary days.

That modernization could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy.

A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe.

In 1815, representatives of the European powers – Britain, Russia, Prussia and Austria – who had collectively defeated Napoleon, met at Vienna to draw up a settlement for Europe.

The Bourbon dynasty, which had been deposed during the French Revolution, was restored to power, and France lost the territories it had annexed under Napoleon.

German confederation of 39 states that has been set up by Napoleon was left untouched.

Autocratic did not tolerate criticism and dissent, and sought to curb activities that questioned the legitimacy of autocratic government.
