The Congress of Vienna
a study in allied unity: 1812-1822
Book • 1946
Harold Nicolson's 'Congress of Vienna: A Study in Allied Unity' examines the 1814–1815 Congress of Vienna and the statesmen who negotiated the post-Napoleonic order.
Drawing on diplomatic records and Nicolson's own understanding of diplomacy, the book analyzes how the great powers coordinated to restore stability in Europe.
Nicolson emphasizes personalities, negotiations, and the balance-of-power principles that shaped the settlements.
The work is both a narrative history and a study of the mechanics of coalition diplomacy.
It remains a classic account for readers interested in 19th-century European diplomacy and the origins of the modern international system.
