Längsschnitt: Frieden
The Congress of Vienna 1814/15
After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the territorial reorganisation of Europe begins in 1814 at the Congress of Vienna under the leadership of Prince von Metternich. Defeated France sits at the negotiating table as an equal partner. For to secure a stable and lasting peace agreement, the aim is to restore the balance between the great powers Great Britain, France, Prussia, Austria and Russia. To prevent any further wars, the diplomats seek to restore the old political structures. They set up the Holy Alliance to suppress revolutionary movements and democratic aspirations wherever they occur. From now on, Europe, especially Germany, sinks into surveillance and censorship. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
