What was the aim of formation of secrets socity after 1815
Answers
Answer:
During the years following 1815, the fears of repression drove many liberal-nationalists underground. Secret societies sprang up in many European states to train revolutionaries and spread their ideas. To be revolutionary at this time meant a commitment to oppose monarchial forms that had been established after the Vienna Congress, and to fight for liberty and freedom. Most of these revolutionaries also saw the creation of nation - states as a necessary part of this struggle for freedom.

Explanation:
You might assume they are formed in order to be more successful. Secretly they can undermine societies and run the world - so the usual thought behind conspiracy theories.
The problem is that they are usually - that is if they are secret societies within our regular societies - not at all that successful. They are not even frequent for that reason.
(1)
The basic problem of a secret society within regular societies is their lack of appeal, and hence their lack of public support. The far bigger problem is their vulnerability. What do you do with members who want to drop out? Kill them? That will work well if your members are nobodies, but not if they are influential. Make sure they will not drop out? That requires incentives to stay and particular threats for dissatisfied members.
(2)
The far more flexible solution is the informal group that decides to meet privately. Any company, political party, or university board has such groups: people who meet more or less regularly in order to discuss topics. You can have a common agenda and form a conservative or progressive informal circle in a party and you might in this case even give your circle a name - it will make it attractive for others to get invited. You can still make sure that journalists or adversaries stay outside. It is anyone's right to meet on any kind of agenda; and it will exert pressure on the entire party once the other members know that there is such a group that might agree on certain positions.

Secret informal groups that are really a secret, are again nothing unusual. They are rare in our general societies (where they are lost) but frequent in companies, parties or other organisations where they can prearrange majorities on upcoming important small scale meetings. You will keep them informal in order to surprise the board with the strangely coordinated consent you are able to form. Simply talk to the three or four people who might support a particular agenda privately. Decide to meet in a restaurant. Coordinate your joint move. If successful you can meet again in the same or another configuration. Do not give your group a name, do not form any membership and you will enjoy a thing that can strike any time and disappear at any time.

If you want to form a terrorist group you will not go for the secret organisation but for one with a catchy brand name, a logo and charismatic leaders. A terrorist group has an agenda, it has to be known for that agenda in order to spread fears. The big fear of all terrorist groups is that they actually exist and that they will strike again under that very name with that very agenda. Terrorist groups are not secret, they are illegal.
(5)
And groups like the Freemasons? They are not secret but "closed". They have addresses, they have websites, they have lists of all the members. The point is simply that you cannot become a member without the agreement of the lodge. Once a member you will receive a rank and that will bar you from top level meetings - but that is not different from any sports club.
