This four page undergraduate paper examines the Congress of Vienna. The author notes that the Congress of Vienna achieved some temporary successes, but its political, economic, and social failures were far-reaching and disastrous. The cynical European diplomats who met in Vienna in 1814, primarily Tallyrand, Castlereagh, Metternich, Herdenberg, and Nesselrode, were adamantly determined to preserve and legitimize royal rule, but their short-term successes were illusory. These men were of course products of their time, so it is not surprising that their responses to the challenges they faced were controlled by their own flawed ideologies, with disastrous long term results.
