The Congress of Vienna - Origins, processes and results (Paperback)

"The Congress of Vienna" explores the attempt by Britain, Russia, Austria and Prussia to redraw Europe's new frontiers after almost twenty years of continuous fighting against the French. Tim Chapman traces the origins of this historic meeting and explains not only its collaboration but how it was subsequently unpicked in the century that followed.
Offering a comprehensive introduction which provides a background to the negotiations, a summary of the agreements reached and assessment of the longer term consequences, "The Congress of Vienna" traces the survival and evolution of the Vienna settlement through many revolutions and explains it eventual demise with the emergence of modern Europe.
