The War in Europe: Being a Retrospect of Wars and Treaties, Showing the Remote and Recent Causes and Objects of a Dynastic War, in Connection with the Balance of Power in Europe (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 2015 M07 5 - 74 páginas Excerpt from The War in Europe: Being a Retrospect of Wars and Treaties, Showing the Remote and Recent Causes and Objects of a Dynastic War, in Connection With the Balance of Power in Europe Noticing the various nations whose interests are more or less involved in the turmoil or'quiet of Europe, we may arrive at a definite idea as to their positions in a general conflict. It will be recollected that the territorial limits of each of the continental powers, as well as its weight in the European bal ance, were fixed by the treaties of 1815, and that the parties to the great set tlement bound themselves by solemn oaths not only to preserve inviolate each condition of their mutual pact, as individual governments, but, moreover, to unite their power at any 'future time, to prevent the least infringement of that pact. By this means the Congress of Vienna, in 1814 - 15, organized what became afterward known as the Balance of Power in Europe; and the three principal continental powers subscribed a treaty of confederation on which was bestowed the name of Holy Alliance. We shall leave the settlement and its treaties for another connection, in' order to glance at the dynasties of Conti neutal Europe.
