jun 28, 1815 - Congress of Vienna
Description:
From 1814 to 1815, the representatives of members of the Quadruple Alliance met to draw up plans for a Post-Napoleonic Europe. The result was a very conservative treaty which reset borders to the way they were before Napoleon's rise. The Bourbon Monarchy was restored with Louis XVIII, and France was eventually forced to pay some reparations after Napoleon's short lived return. The Congress' resolutions set Europe up for conservative, monarchist norms in the 19th century which all came to a head in the struggles which caused the Great War in 1914.Added to timeline:
