The Congress of Vienna was an international meeting held in the Austrian capital, convened with the aim of restoring the borders of Europe after the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte and reorganizing the political ideologies of the Old Regime.
Thus, its intention was to return Europe to the situation before the French Revolution (1789), not only to restore the national borders deranged almost 20 years ago, but also to ensure a balance of power to avoid another series of armed conflicts at great scale.
