Answer:
The Main Purpose of the Vienna Congress was to sign the Treaty of Vienna.
The Treaty of Vienna's main objective was to restore complete autocracy and undo all the changes brought in by Napolean Bonaparte.
Explanation:
The Treaty of Vienna accomplished the following:
i) The Bourban Dynasty, which was overthrown by Napolean, was restored back to power.
ii) France lost all the territories it annexed under Napolean's rule.
iii) Many smaller territories were placed around France to prevent its expansion, as it is easier to defeat one army than many armies to conquer the same amount of land.
iv) For example, Netherlands was placed towards the North of France, whereas Genoa was placed towards the South of France.
v) The signatories of the Treaty of Vienna annexed new lands, for example Austria got control over Northern Italy, Russia got control over Poland and Prussia got control over Saxony.
vi) However, the Confederation of 39 States were left untouched because it was a complicated set up.
This helped the set up of complete monarchy over territories. The new autocratic government :
i) did not tolerate criticism and restrained activities that questioned their legitimacy
ii) imposed censorship to stop ideas of French Revolution spreading
iii) severely punished citizens who broke the above laws
None of the above would have been possible if the Vienna Congress had not arised in 1815 following the defeat and death of Napolean Bonaparte.
