The Concert of Europe: The 19th Century's Great Power System
The Concert of Europe was a 19th-century diplomatic order where the great powers of Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, and Britain cooperated to maintain peace, suppress revolutions, and manage the balance of power after the Napoleonic Wars. It operated through a series of congresses and informal agreements, preventing a continent-wide war for a century until its collapse in 1914.
