Compare and contrast the Treat


            Compare and contrast the Treaty of Versailles and the Congress of Vienna.

             The Congress of Vienna, which was a conference of European nations, was held in from September 1814 to June 1815, after the defeat of Napoleon. The other treaty, which could rather be called as nothing more, than a profit motive for the main nations of Europe, was ended the First World War in 1918.
             The Congress of Vienna was held because the four great powers (England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia) joined to defeat France so they sat down to make a peace treaty to bring back the balance of power and keep it. They wanted to make sure that France doesn't start again a war of aggression so they thought that France shouldn't be weakened too much. The French diplomat, called Talleyrand, who represented the restored French king Louis XVIII, succeeded an equal share in the decisions to secure France. Castleraugh represented Britain, Russia was represented by Czar Alexander I., Prussia was represented by King Frederic III. but the president of the congress was Metternich, the Austrian state minister.
             The leaders wanted to redrew the map as it was in 1782 and also wanted to rebuild the balance of power in Europe.
