Was Vienna settlement dominated by the fear of the french aggression?

Yes, the Vienna Settlement of 1815 was largely influenced by the fear of French aggression following the tumultuous period of the Napoleonic Wars. The major powers of Europe, including Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Britain, aimed to create a balance of power that would prevent France from expanding its influence again. This led to the establishment of a conservative order and a series of alliances to deter potential threats from France and maintain stability in Europe. The settlement sought to contain French ambitions while restoring the old monarchies and territorial boundaries disrupted by Napoleon.
