The Congress of Vienna, held from 1814 to 1815, sought to restore stability and balance in Europe after the upheaval caused by the Napoleonic Wars. To resolve the division of the French Empire, the Congress redrew national borders, restoring territories to their pre-revolutionary states and establishing a series of buffer states around France to prevent future expansion. This included the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France and the establishment of a new balance of power that aimed to maintain peace in Europe, ultimately leading to a period known as the Concert of Europe.
