- The Vienna Congress marked one of the turning points in diplomatic history – an attempt to create an ‘international order’ to secure peace for the 19th century. Mark Jarrett argues that the Congress in fact marked the beginning of the end for the Ancien Regime, and has had an enormous influence, right through to present day.
