The big loser in the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) was France. Although it was a major power, France faced significant territorial losses and a restoration of the Bourbon monarchy under Louis XVIII, which limited its influence in European affairs. The Congress aimed to restore the balance of power in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, ultimately sidelining France and imposing restrictions that would shape its future relations with neighboring countries.
