Abstract
The issue of the Concert of Europe reached, no lately, a specific interest among the Scholars in the field of the History of International Relations. It was advanced the opinion that Scholars would look in vain for an adequate study about the principle and the practice of the European Concert. For a better understanding of the meaning of the Concert of Europe, its origins or preludes have to be sedulously searched. In the first part this study reveals the temptation which exercised the General Peace on the acts and attitudes of the Great Powers coalised against Napoleon’s Empire. In the second part, the study focuses on the approach of the Peace with France, an approach strongly disputed by Russia and Austria, the latter tried to play the card of the „mediation of a Peace with Napoleon”. In this third part of the study it was of interest to be revealed the evolution of the action of Napoleon’s foes, from the Continental Coalition to the Great Alliance at Chaumont in 1814, an Alliance which decided the victory and the Peace with France, deliberated under the invocation of the Concert of Europe.
