After twenty-six years of unprecedented revolutionary upheavals and
endless fighting, the victorious powers craved stability after
Napoleon's defeat in 1815. With the threat of war and revolutionary
terror still looming large, the coalition launched an unprecedented
experiment to re-establish European security. With over one million
troops remaining in France, they established the Allied Council to
mitigate the threat of war and terror and to design and consolidate
a system of deterrence. The Council transformed the norm of
interstate relations into the first, modern system of collective
security in Europe. Drawing on the records of the Council and the
correspondence of key figures such as Metternich, Castlereagh,
Wellington and Alexander I, Beatrice de Graaf tells the story of
Europe's transition from concluding a war to consolidating a new
order. She reveals how, long before commercial interest and
economic considerations on scale and productivity dictated and
inspired the project of European integration, the common
denominator behind this first impulse for a unification of Europe
in norms and institutions was the collective fight against terror.
