Description
The Congress of Vienna met after the fall of Napoleon to decide how to re-draw the map of Europe. Everywhere west of the Russian Empire was profoundly affected, and the decisions taken at Vienna had far-reaching consequences.
This lecture, in four parts, takes a fresh look at the work of the Congress, setting it in the long context of diplomatic history. It combines enough factual material for the most energetic exam candidate, but also a range of stimulating judgements and perspectives that will interest everyone who cares for European history.
In too many school text-books the Congress appears either as the introduction to a book about the nineteenth century or the conclusion to a book about Napoleon. This lecture places it centre stage.
