Evaluate an estimate of the works of the vienna congress?
Answers
The Vienna Congress was convened with attractive declarations high morals and principles. It was declared that the diplomats at Congress would make sincere attempts for the reconstruction reorganisation of the political system of Europe.
It was expected that settlement of the Vienna Congress would prove valuable for establishment of a durable peace based upon a just division of power. But after a critical study of the decisions taken at Vienna, it may be concluded that:
1. The decisions were not based on any sound principles. Although three fundamental principles were laid down order to help ease the work of the Congress, these principles too were overlooked by the diplomats.
2. The Congress ignored the principle and feeling of nationality. The members introduced many major changes in the map of Europe according to their own will.
3. The representatives of almost all the countries of Europe came to Vienna to participate in the conference, but those members did not represent the common people of their respective countries.
