The French Revolution had demonstrated to the various peoples of Europe that governments controlled by the people, and not ruled over by monarchs could prevail in Europe. People wanted a greater say in their government and increasing liberalism. By contrast, the monarchs after the Congress of Vienna wanted to return to the pre-Revolutionary atmosphere in Europe and serve as absolute rulers. This confrontation of political wills set the two groups squarely against each other.
