The Congress of Vienna's main goal was to stop the spread of French Revolution ignited by philosophies such as Voltaire, Bentham, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, which was spreading quickly at the time by the Eastern European conquest of the french Emperor and military genius Napoleon Bonaparte. The Congress succeeded after Napoleon's exile to Elba, but was threatened by his return to Europe, known as the 100 days. Napoleon and his still loyal French army fought the congress and the Quadruple Alliance (Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Great Britain) and was defeated at Waterloo, and was later exiled to St. Helena, off the coast of Africa, where he would die.
The Congress was effective in their efforts and caused Europe to fall under a more constitutional monarchy. This later was known as Enlightened Despotism, and would keep monarchical order and stability between Europe's main powers..
First, the big four of Austria, Prussia, Russia and the United Kingdom had to accept the fact that to achieve its goals, France would have to be brought into the discussion. Without a stable French Nation, no balance of power in Europe could ever be achieved. Them named Napoleon an Outlaw and determined that he would have to be soundly defeated or killed and the Monarchy would have to be restored.
