Yes, Europe benefited from Metternich's idea of a balance of power, which aimed to prevent any single nation from dominating the continent after the Napoleonic Wars. This concept helped to establish a framework for diplomacy and alliances that maintained relative peace in Europe for much of the 19th century. By promoting cooperation among major powers, Metternich's approach contributed to stability and the avoidance of large-scale conflicts until the outbreak of World War I. However, it also suppressed nationalist movements and led to tensions that would later resurface.

The Treaty of Utrecht, signed in 1713, was pivotal in redefining the balance of power in Europe by ending the War of Spanish Succession. It established that no single power, particularly France, could dominate the continent, thereby promoting a system of checks and balances among major European nations. The treaty resulted in territorial adjustments, with Great Britain, Austria, and the Dutch Republic gaining territories, which curtailed French expansion and laid the groundwork for a more multipolar Europe. This shift helped to maintain relative peace in Europe for several decades by fostering a balance that discouraged aggressive expansionism.

Nationalism
Metternich's plan for Europe focused on three key points: the restoration of monarchies and traditional power structures to maintain stability, the establishment of a balance of power to prevent any single nation from dominating Europe, and the promotion of conservative principles to suppress revolutionary movements and maintain the status quo. He aimed to create a framework that would ensure lasting peace and order following the upheaval of the Napoleonic Wars. These principles significantly influenced the decisions made at the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
