What Was The Purpose Of The Congress Of Vienna?

The Congress of Vienna was a conference of ambassadors of European states chaired by the Austrian statesman Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, and held in Vienna from November, 1814 to June, 1815.^[1] Its objective was to redraw the continent's political map and settle the many other issues arising from the French Revolutionary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars, and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. The immediate background was France's defeat and surrender in May, 1814,
which brought an end to twenty-five years of almost continuous war. The
negotiations continued despite a final outburst of fighting triggered
by ex-Emperor Napoleon's dramatic return from exile and resumption of power in France during the Hundred Days in March-July, 1815. The Congress's "Final Act" was signed nine days before his final defeat at Waterloo on June 18, 1815. The Congress's goal was to establish the boundaries of France, Napoleon's duchy of Warsaw, the Netherlands, the states once part of the Confederation of the Rhine, the German province of Saxony, and various Italian territoriesThe
Congress of Vienna settlement, despite later changes, formed the
framework for European international politics until the outbreak of the
First World War in 1914.
