Concert of the Realm

The Concert of the Realm was a 19th-century diplomatic framework where European monarchies, mainly Austria, Britain, France, Prussia, and Russia, coordinated their actions to maintain stability and prevent major conflicts on the continent. It was an informal system of cooperation that relied on mutual respect and communication, aiming to balance power and preserve the status quo after the Napoleonic Wars. This collective effort helped to prevent large-scale wars among the major powers for several decades, reinforcing peace through diplomacy rather than conflict.
