FINAL WARNING: The Birth of Tyranny
Other representatives were: Frederick VI, King of Denmark; Maximilian
Joseph, King of Bavaria; Friedrich I, King of Wurttemburg; Napoleon II,
King of Rome; Eugene de Beauharnais, Viceroy of Italy; King Friedrich
August I of Saxony; Count Lowenhielm of Sweden; Cardinal Consalvi
of the Papal States; Grand Duke Charles of Baden; Elector William of
Hesse; Grand Duke George of Hesse-Darmstadt; Karl August, Duke of
Weimar; the King of Bohemia; the King of Hungary; and emissaries
from Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Holland, and other European States.
The main concern of the Congress was to redistribute conquered
territories, create a balance of power, restore the pre-Napoleonic order
through King Louis XVIII, return the power to families who were ruling
in 1789, and to return the Roman Catholic Church to its former power.
Discussion revolved around the creation of a Federation of Europe that
would establish a group of independent kingdoms which would be tied
together through an administrative governing body that would, among
other things, provide military defense. In their plan, Switzerland was
made a neutral state that served as a repository for their finances.
In March, 1815, Napoleon left Elba, because the pension promised him
by King Louis XVIII was discontinued, and he believed that Austria was
preventing his companion, Marie Louise, and his son, the former King
of Rome (who became the Duke of Reichstadt in Vienna) from being
able to join him. Plus, he was made aware of the growing discontent
with the King. Thus Napoleon returned, began the Hundred Days War,
and was immediately labeled a “public enemy.” The coalition at the
Congress put aside their diplomatic business, and joined in the battle.
Shortly before Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, negotiations at the
Congress of Vienna were completed, and the treaty was signed on
June 9, 1815. The Second Peace of Paris, in November, exiled
Napoleon to St. Helena, an island 1,000 miles off the African coast,
where he died in 1821. The Russian czar saw through the planned
European Federation, recognizing it as an Illuminati ploy, and would
not go along with it. On September 26, 1815, the Treaty of Holy Alliance
was signed by Alexander I of Russia, Francis II of Austria, and
Frederick William III of Prussia, while the allies were negotiating the
Second Peace of Paris. The Treaty guaranteed the sovereignty of any
monarch who would adhere to Christian principles in the affairs of
