Quadruple Alliance

The Quadruple Alliance was a coalition formed in 1815 after the Napoleonic Wars, consisting of four major European powers: Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Its main goal was to maintain the balance of power in Europe and prevent the spread of revolutionary ideas and conflicts like those seen during the French Revolution. The alliance sought to preserve peace and promote stability through cooperation among the member nations. It played a crucial role in shaping European politics in the 19th century and helped establish a system of collective security among the major powers.
