The Congress of Vienna was a meeting of ambassadors of European states chaired by Austrian statesman Klemens von Metternich, and held in Vienna from November 1814 to June 1815, though the delegates had arrived and were already negotiating by late September 1814. The objective of the Congress was to provide a long-term peace plan for Europe by settling critical issues arising from the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. The goal was not simply to restore old boundaries but to resize the main powers so they could balance each other off and remain at peace.
DRAWBACKS:
In Vienna, semi-sacred rulers got the opportunity to socialize with high society as a whole. Even at the time, people commented that this fraternization was doing the idea of monarchy irreparable harm. Two kings meeting on a field of cloth of gold are a spectacle of sovereignty; a dozen at a ball are just another class of conventioneer. The irony, or course, is that a conference that would do so much to create the police hardware to keep monarchs on their thrones would appreciably undermine the cultural software that made their positions natural or even tolerable.
