Hey guys! Today we are going to continue to talk about what was discussed in the Congress of Vienna and the dynamics of the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you were here last week then you know we ended the blog talking about wanting to remove the monarchy from France to continue the French Revolution. He returned and took power declaring himself to be emperor. The members of the Congress of Vienna pledged to stop Napoleon and refused to allow him to regain power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some areas in Europe were left not controlling their own nations, because they had massive foreign control of their area too. This led to nationalistic desires of autonomy for people groups like the Greeks, Poles, and others. To further protect themselves from nationalistic uprisings, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia formed the Quadruple Alliance. They agreed to put down any nationalistic uprisings, never allow Napoleon to regain power, and uphold the declarations of the Congress of Vienna. This group met periodically to discuss the security of Europe and determine if the plans of the Congress of Vienna were being carried out. This group became official in November of 1815, partially as a reaction to Napoleon’s last attempt for power. The leaders believed that cooperation between powerful nations would prevent another major war and keep the balance of power in Europe. They also wanted to stop revolutionary ideas from spreading because they feared these movements could weaken monarchies and threaten their authority. Although their decisions helped maintain order, many people believed that their policies ignored the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. As a result, tensions continued to grow among people who wanted more political freedom and independence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Congress of Vienna, for the most part, did achieve the security it desired. Yet, this did not stop future rebellions that championed independence and the implementation of Enlightenment ideals. For instance, the Greeks tried to rebel against the Ottoman Empire control of their nation. Outside of Europe, many of the Spanish Colonies in the Western Hemisphere rebelled against Spain. These areas did eventually win their independence. However, generally, stability was achieved between the most powerful nations of Europe lasting all the way until the mid-1800s, when the Crimean War started in 1853 against Russia. The Greek struggle for independence gained support from other European countries, and Greece eventually became an independent nation in 1830. Similarly, leaders such as Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar helped Spanish colonies in South America fight for freedom from Spanish rule. These independence movements showed that nationalism remained a powerful force even after the Congress of Vienna. Although European leaders tried to preserve the old political system, people continued demanding the right to govern themselves. The revolutions and independence movements that followed demonstrated that peace between powerful nations did not necessarily mean that all people were satisfied with their governments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
