The Congress of Vienna was a meeting of ambassadors of European states chaired by Austrian politician Klemens Wenzel von Metternich. The congress was conducted from September, 1814 till June, 1815. The main purpose of the congress was to resolve crisis situations arising out of Napoleonic wars and French revolutions and secure long lasting peace. The congress according to most historians was successful in bringing long term peace to the region, as there was no major conflict for 100 years till the start of WW I in the region.
After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the borders of Central Europe changed significantly. The most notable changes occurred in the territories of modern-day Poland, where the Congress established the Congress Kingdom of Poland under Russian influence, while Prussia gained parts of Saxony and Austria expanded its influence in Northern Italy. Additionally, the German Confederation was formed, altering the political landscape of German-speaking territories. These adjustments aimed to create a balance of power and prevent future conflicts in Europe.

The most responsible figure for the accomplishments of the Congress of Vienna was Prince Klemens von Metternich, the Austrian foreign minister. His diplomatic skills and vision for a balance of power in Europe were crucial in shaping the post-Napoleonic order. Metternich advocated for conservative principles, aiming to restore monarchies and suppress revolutionary movements, which significantly influenced the Congress's outcomes. His leadership helped establish a framework that maintained relative peace in Europe for several decades.
In view of the unintended results, the error of creating a unified Germanic Confederation was a stand out that eventually played a role in two World Wars.
The unification of Germany cause a shift in the balance of power created by the Congress of Vienna since most of the rights of sovereignty remained in the hands of the member governments.
