The Congress of Vienna was concluded
The Congress of Vienna, which took place in Vienna, Austria from October 1814 to June 1815 to regulate and restore Europe's political conditions after the Napoleonic Wars, was concluded. During the congress, it was decided that Norway should be transferred from Denmark to the Swedish king.
The Congress of Vienna was the third large peace congress in modern times, and almost all of Europe's states and princely houses took part. The five major powers' delegation leaders were Metternich for Austria, Castlereagh for Great Britain, Tsar Alexander I and Nesselrode for Russia, Hardenberg and Humboldt for Prussia, and Talleyrand for France.
Representing Sweden was Count Carl Axel Löwenhielm, and representing Denmark was Foreign Minister Count Niels Rosenkrantz. King Frederick VI was also present.
The congress came about as the work of the Austrian Foreign Minister Prince Metternich, and his rejection of the liberal and national ideas of the time left its mark on it.
