The Congress of Vienna, held from November 1814 to June 1815, called for restoration of governments overthrown in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars since 1792, dynastic legitimacy, and solidarity of the Great Powers.  The resulting June Final Act attempted to establish a balance of power amongst the Great Powers, allowing future French aggression to be checked and revolutionary movements to be halted.  The Powers utilized regular meetings known as the Concert of Europe to resolve differences and to halt new threats to the European peace.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonkent.com\/historic_documents\/congress_of_vienna_1815.htm\">Maps and Images of the Congress<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wiener-kongress.at\/index.php\/en\/\">Documentary overview of the Congress in German and English.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;background-color:#f1f5f6;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-extra-small-font-size wp-elements-65959d2ed6ae7a6d375ccf6ac708d67f\" style=\"color:#494949;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">1823<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Monroe Doctrine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>December 1823<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctrine stated US opposition to European colonization in the Western Hemisphere as Latin American countries were gaining their freedom.

The US would not enter into a joint declaration with Britain on European non-intervention, issuing an indepndent statement.  Subsequently, the doctrine has been utilized by US administrations to justify US interventions in Latin America.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;background-color:#f1f5f6;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-extra-small-font-size wp-elements-9d71bb3937e032f1026405baea1436bf\" style=\"color:#494949;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">1833<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Britain frees all of the slaves within its empire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>August 1833 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The early 19th century ushered in the full force of the Industrial Revolution, transforming agrarian societies into mechanized powerhouses.
