Abstract
With Napoléon’s final downfall in 1815, the Congress of Vienna, under the conservative leadership of Prince Klemens von Metternich, worked to restore the old political order throughout Europe. Unfortunately for the conservatives, Napoléon’s armies had planted the seeds of liberalism and had awakened nationalist aspirations in the German and Italian states.
