Document Summary
Two particular sources of disagreement, in relations to concert either hegemony or balance. One of britain"s main foreign strategies is to maintain balance within europe. Maintenance of balance is the primary objective, hegemony means there is no balance and no force capable of contending. Metternich wants to restrict the spread of the odious ideas of the philosophes, restrain revolutionary ideas. Castlereagh and wellington, are the most liberal of british statesmen. Aix la chapelle 1818 (normalization of france) Carlsbad 1819 (censorship in the german federation) internal german settlement, the assassination of a conservative rider, matternich assembles the german foreign ministers to deal with this revolutionary threat . Troppau 1820 (italy, spain) there is something of a revolution within naples in italy. 1821 there is a greek revbellion against the ottomans. Verona 1822 (spain, ottoman empire, latin america) Metternich agenda although hegemonous he will suppress revolution by force. The means here are peaceful protest, the aims were too constantly improve the system.
