What will I learn?
You will study the political landscape of post-Napoleonic Europe and understand why the Congress of Vienna was necessary. You will examine the roles of key delegates such as Metternich, Castlereagh, and Talleyrand, and trace how their strategies shaped the final settlement. The course covers the three guiding principles of legitimacy, balance of power, and compensation, and applies them to specific territorial decisions across Europe. You will also analyse the Concert of Europe as a lasting institutional framework and compare the 1815 settlement with the peace conferences of 1919 and 1945. By the end, you will be equipped to evaluate multilateral diplomacy with historical depth and analytical precision.
