it was the Congress that met in Vienna in November 1814 that laid the foundations of the
post-war European system. The Congress of Vienna aimed to redraw the map that Napoleon had redesigned on national terms. Its intention was to redraw the European map in ways that would benefit the major powers and bind them against any further attempt at hegemony over Europe. Thus, after the final defeat of Napoleon, the Holy Alliance and later the Quadruple Alliance were created.
