Opis

In 1814-1815, after the French revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the leaders of the most important countries in Europe gathered together to redraw the frontiers of their continent. This book explores the attempt by Britain, Russia, Austria and Prussia to agree Europe's new frontiers after almost 20 years of continuous fighting against France and analyzes how successful the Congress was.
