Concert of Europe, 1820   Description The "Concert of Europe" is the name given to the series of conferences beginning in 1815 held by the great powers of Europe. A revolutionary development in the development of European and world diplomacy, the Concert's chief aim is to maintain the balance of power in a Europe exhausted by the rise and fall of Napoleon. Delegates will represent varying visions for the future of Europe and powers great and small. Faced with the ceaseless threat of revolution and the possibility of the rise of another Napoleonic figure, the affairs of the Concert will be doused with idealism and intrigue as national self-interest battles European good. Success will see Europe through the era unscathed; failure will plunge the continent back into brutal war. Staff Chair: Scott St. Marie Crisis Director: Mark Vieyra
