  1. The Treaty of Vienna (1815) restored monarchies, redrew European boundaries, strengthened states around France, returned the Bourbon dynasty and established a conservative order to maintain peace and stability. As:

    1. The Bourbon dynasty, which had been removed during the French Revolution, was brought back to power and France lost all territories it had gained under Napoleon’s rule.
    2. Several buffer states were created around France to stop any future expansion. The Kingdom of the Netherlands, including Belgium, was formed in the north, while Genoa was merged with Piedmont in the south.
    3. Prussia received new territories along its western borders and Austria gained control over northern Italy.
    4. The German Confederation, consisting of 39 states established by Napoleon, remained unchanged. In the east, Russia obtained part of Poland and Prussia received a portion of Saxony.
    5. The main goal was to restore the monarchies overthrown by Napoleon and to establish a conservative order across Europe.
