Holy Alliance
The proposal gave rise to the Holy Alliance came from Tsar Alexander I. On September 26, 1815, the czar, the Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia signed the treaty on behalf of the Holy Trinity and under the rules of Christian charity, they promised mutual aid. France joined the treaty.
It was Prince Metternich, however, who gave the Holy Alliance its guidelines. There should be regular meetings between the signatory powers of the treaty, in which they discuss issues relating to the preservation of the order established by the Congress of Vienna .Ultimately, it was a way to keep France under surveillance and contain the possible revolutionary and liberal movements that were to erupt at any point of Europe. It is also obvious that any separatist character movement, national, would be drowned out by the instrument of European reaction, the Holy Alliance .
The so - called Matternich system worked on several occasions since its creation. The first Congress of the Holy Alliance was held in Aix-la-Chapelle, in 1818. decided the withdrawal of occupation troops from France, which now effectively composed the Holy Alliance.
An association of students in Germany caused disturbances during the commemoration of the third centenary of the Protestant Reformation of Luther. The Congress Carlsbad and Vienna (1819/1820) organized a violent crackdown by imposing surveillance Universities, combat the secret societies of nationalistic and censorship of newspapers. Liberal positions of certain military of Spain and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies led revolutions that resulted in the imposition of constitutions of their respective sovereigns: Ferdinand VII of Spain and Fernando I of the Two Sicilies. These monarchs, however, appealed to the Holy Alliance.
This in Congress Troppau (1820) and Laybach (1821) decided that Austria would intervene in the Two Sicilies to restore absolutism. As for Spain, the Congress of Verona (1822) decided that it would be up to France's mission to organize the restorative intervention, which was implemented under the command of the Duke of Angoulême.
The elimination of these two liberal uprisings can be considered the ultimate success of the Holy Alliance.
Indeed, around 1830, his real power was gone.The rebellion of the Greeks against the Turks (rebellion which was supported by Russia) and the independence of the Latin American colonies were not drowned out by the Holy Alliance, which has weakened. In the case ofLatin America , the interests of Britain played an important role since the independence of the colonies meant for the English opening markets and the emergence of new areas of political influence.
For this reason, as soon as the Holy Alliance began to contemplate the adoption of measures against the rebellious colonies, Britain went on to defend the principle of non-intervention, placing it in practice on the side of emancipation movements. This break made official with the departure of the English of the Holy Alliance (which at the time was renamed as the Quadruple Alliance).
