Description:
• 1815 — Napoleon is defeated; the Congress of Vienna restores conservative rule.
• 1820s–1840s — Germans want order, loyalty, and conservative stability, but also merit‑based mobility and the chance to rise through hard work.
• 1848 — The revolutions break this pattern and end the era.
