The Treaty of Paris in 1814 officially ended the Napoleonic Wars, concluding a series of conflicts involving Napoleonic France against various coalitions of European powers. The treaty's provisions restored the monarchical order in France and established a balance of power through the Congress of Vienna, aimed at preventing future large-scale wars in Europe. It also redefined territorial boundaries and helped stabilize much of Europe after years of conflict, setting the stage for the resurgence of conservative power and political order in the 19th century.
