Q

what was the peace of paris

A

basically: lenient treatment of france by allies

peace that treated france pretty penitently
allied armies withdrew from france
countries largely returned to borders before start of wars
got most of colonies back as we’ll
reason for leniency; not to undermine the authority of King Louis 18th, idea that any nostalgia for ways of napoleon would be kept to a minimum
other reason was attempt to maintain the balance of power in europe
but europes statesman had to do more than settle things with france they had to create a new order for all of europe
and they did the in the congressional of vienna
