Europe After Napoleon

The history of Europe after 1815 is very interesting but very complex. You have studied the French Revolution and Napoleon in your French history class and now you will examine the most important developments in the political history of Europe prior to 1914 outside France. It is not possible to study this period of European history without making constant reference to France, because so much of what happened in France between 1789 and 1815 had a profound and permanent effect on the history of Europe in the 19th century (and on world history in the 20th century).
