Write three main principles of the Congress of Vienna 1815 in Europe.
Answers
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 and remain at peace..
Metternich had three goals at the congress: first, he wanted to prevent future French aggression by surrounding France with strong countries; second, he wanted to restore a balance of power (see above), so that no country would be a threat to others; and third, he wanted to restore Europe's royal families
(1) The Vienna Settlement was based on three principles, viz., restoration, legitimacy’ and compensation.
(2) During the Napoleonic wars, Great Britain had captured the important Dutch colonies of Ceylon, Cape Colony, South Africa and Guiana.
(3) Prussia also gained a great deal. She got back all the German territories which had been taken away from her by Napoleon.
