So on July 7, the coalition forces began to attack Paris. Napoleon was completely defeated because there were not that many troops to resist. Therefore, Napoleon announced his abdication again, and he was exiled to St. Helena Island in the South Atlantic for five years.

He died of illness a few years later, ending his life.

This war actually marked the end of Napoleon's era, but this war also shook the feudal system and government throughout Europe, and also laid the foundation for the development of capitalism in various European countries.

Next we talk about the so-called Holy Alliance, which happened after Napoleon abdicated. Of course, we also start from the beginning. In July 1815, Napoleon announced his abdication after his defeat in the Battle of Waterloo and was imprisoned to

St. Helena Island in the Atlantic Ocean can also be said to be the demise of the Hundred Days Dynasty. At this time, Louis XVI's younger brother Louis XVIII returned to Paris under the protection of foreign troops and ascended the throne of the king. The Bourbon dynasty was restored.

Restoration.

In order to eliminate the influence of the French Revolution on various European countries, at the suggestion of Austrian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Metternich, various European countries held a conference in Austria. Our human history calls this conference the Congress of Vienna.

At this time, all European countries participating in the war against France sent representatives to participate in this meeting. In addition to Austria, Prussia, Russia, and the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Portugal and other countries also sent representatives to participate.

There were more than 200 people in total. The host of the Congress of Vienna was Emperor Francis I of Austria, and the meeting was chaired by Metternich. However, the status of these more than 200 people was of course unequal. The main factor was the country's military strength.

Even the strength in various aspects, of course, there are also other factors.

But the meeting was mainly controlled by Metternich, Russian Tsar Alexander I, British Foreign Minister Castlereagh and Prussian Prime Minister Hardenburg. In addition, French Foreign Minister Talleyrand also played a relatively important role.

Publicly claiming: I don’t want anything, but I brought you the most important principle, the principle of orthodoxy! This so-called orthodox principle was also accepted by ministers from various countries and became the guiding principle of the Congress of Vienna. Later he

It was also squeezed into the core meeting, so the Vienna Conference was controlled by four countries, and became controlled by five countries.

In fact, we really need to understand clearly that the essence of the Congress of Vienna was itself a so-called spoils-sharing conference. After defeating Napoleon, the four major powers began to carve up the territory of Napoleon's empire and began to restore the old European feudalism that was destroyed by the French Revolution.

Order. Because after Napoleon conquered the country, he destroyed the feudal order in the country, which was completely unfavorable for the top leaders of the country to continue to deceive the people, or to continue to treat the people as speechless tools, because the people from this time

Many truths were learned about the war and other aspects, and of course high-level officials were killed. Therefore, this meeting also restored many feudal dynasties that had been overthrown by Napoleon. In addition, preventing France from making a comeback was also one of the main purposes of this meeting.

Because this war is such a vicious cycle, it has always been carried out in the endless cycle of revenge and revenge. Of course, there are also interests and even technological factors, so all countries are afraid of France's comeback. In this case, France will definitely carry out

Revengeful.

Therefore, at the Congress of Vienna, Metternich maneuvered in many directions and stole the limelight. As a result, he expanded Austria's influence and was called the butterfly ambassador. The conference hall originally had three doors, but in order to win over other big countries, Metternich

Teny asked people to open two more doors, allowing the heads of the five countries to enter the conference venue with dignity. At the conference, the representatives of the five countries refused to give in to each other for their own interests, and they were red-faced. Whenever this happened

At that time, Metternich stood up to smooth things over, allowing representatives from various countries to attend very luxurious balls, banquets, or go hunting in the countryside. Metternich took the opportunity to send agents to their residences to read through their documents and letters.

However, the representatives of various countries are not fools. They played for fun and did not give in at the negotiating table. As a result, the Vienna Conference lasted for more than eight months, and was also criticized by Europeans at this time.

Nicknamed: Old Women's Meeting.

After the Congress of Vienna, in order to implement the various agreements reached at the conference and maintain the reactionary order of various feudal dynasties in Europe, Russian Czar Alexander I, who had long wanted to be the European military policeman, proposed the Holy Alliance. This so-called Holy Alliance was

Under the so-called sacred religious lofty truth and justice, the motto of Christian fraternity and peace, various European countries have established an alliance. If there is a revolution in the country, or if there is a riot due to the exploitation of the people, the countries can support each other.

.

Russian Tsar Alexander I personally drafted the relevant documents and drafts of the Holy Alliance, and also sent people to various European countries to conduct extensive publicity. In fact, Alexander I proposed the proposal as early as 1804 and 1812.

In the name of Christianity, various countries in Europe were united. And now, after breaking the Hundred Days of Napoleon, it was brought up again in Paris. At the beginning, the ministers of various countries did not regard the sacred

The Alliance took it seriously and believed that these were just empty beautiful words. Moreover, the British Foreign Secretary Castlereagh still dismissed this, and even ridiculed Alexander I as delusional and nonsense. The Austrian Prime Minister Metternich also

It is believed that Alexander I was just singing a high profile and was not operable at all.

But after these countries finally thought about it carefully, European monarchs and political dignitaries suddenly realized how great Alexander I was! How great the suggestion of the Holy Alliance was! Because the Holy Alliance can maintain their ruling order and guarantee

In their interests, if several powerful countries unite, there is no need to worry about any kind of revolution or riot, even if there are ten Napoleons.

And how should we understand this matter? For example, there is currently a country in the Holy Alliance that continues to implement a feudal system, that is, it still treats civilians as tools that are not allowed to speak, but treats these civilians in this way

, will definitely cause these civilians to feel very uncomfortable. Even after causing lack of food and clothing, these civilians will die in large numbers. They will definitely rebel. Since they want to rebel, this must be carried out.

Large-scale suppression requires the army, and often at such moments, ordinary civilians are unwilling to join the army. They are all fighting for human rights. Therefore, the army at the top of the country only has some of the original troops, and even consider

Will they defect, so this situation is very dangerous. Maybe their top leaders will be killed by peasant uprisings, because the probability of such things happening in history is really too high, and there are various kinds of things in every century.

In such cases, of course there are also cases where high-level officials were overthrown by the rebels.

Therefore, these countries believe that if they want to keep the civilians of their own countries as their own tools, that is, tools that cannot speak, and control their uprisings, now the Holy Alliance can perfectly solve this problem, because

In the agreement of the Holy Alliance, after this country did not regard its people as human beings, the farmers eventually revolted for their extremely pitiful human rights. However, the top leaders of the country did not need to be afraid at all. After all, the armies of other countries could

Mobilize them and carry out large-scale massacres of these revolting farmers, so that the uprising can be suppressed quickly. After all, we humans are very strange creatures. Everyone only has one life, and a lifetime is too long.

It is short-lived, so if many farmers tolerate or compromise a little, they will become silent tools throughout their lives. Therefore, this will definitely be beneficial to the top leaders of the country, and it will not hurt at all.

It can enhance the feelings of high-level officials in various countries.

However, this Holy Alliance definitely still has drawbacks. The main drawback is, what should one of the countries do if it wants to fight another country, or is hit by another country? And currently they are all members of the Holy Alliance.

So this is a cooperative relationship. So for our partners, should we fight? Or not fight? Or should we help? Or not help? In fact, for these things, the top leaders of these countries are currently

There is no in-depth consideration, because what they are currently considering is that when they use the tools, they will cause dissatisfaction and rebellion in the hearts of these tools. How to quickly and completely suppress this kind of behavior with almost zero risk?

Rebellion, that is, suppressing this kind of uprising, is the most important thing.

Since the current focus of various countries is on this kind of thing, then this Holy Alliance seems to be an excellent way to deal with this kind of suppression of uprisings. Therefore, these countries all think that Tsar Alexander is really great at this time! What's more, this Holy Alliance is even more powerful.

It is great! So in September 1815, Russia, Austria and Prussia established the Holy Alliance in Paris. Later, European countries realized the original intention of this Holy Alliance. Therefore, all European countries suddenly

They joined the Holy Alliance one after another. After all, this is really beneficial to their senior leaders.

But if we modern people today really understand the nature of the Holy Alliance clearly, it would be too simple. I have analyzed it myself before. In fact, it is exactly the situation I analyzed to you. This sacred alliance

The Alliance is actually a big conspiracy of all European monarchs under the leadership of the Czar to oppress their own people! This has nothing to do with Christian fraternity or mottos. It is just a superficial borrowing of this gorgeousness.
