The Congress of Vienna was a meeting of
European leaders who had survived the
Napoleonic Wars and were ready to adjust the European map,
now that
Napoleon
had been exiled.
Or so they thought.
On March 1, 1815, Napoleon was back on
the European mainland and ready to rumble. After some eventful
Hundred
Days, Napoleon was once more taken care of and the Congress
was able to conclude its assembly with the
Final Act of the
Congress of Vienna, signed on June 9, 1815.
Here is more on
Talleyrand.
And here is more on
Metternich.
