The Concert of Europe was an alliance among which four major powers?
Correct Answer:
United Kingdom, Austria, Russia, Prussia
Explanation:
The main idea here is balance-of-power diplomacy after the Napoleonic Wars. The Concert of Europe was a framework among the four great powers—the United Kingdom, Austria, Russia, and Prussia—working together to preserve the existing order and prevent any single nation from dominating Europe. Britain brought naval strength and global interests, while Austria, Russia, and Prussia were the dominant continental powers ensuring stability on the continent. France, though still influential, was not included as one of the core four in this early arrangement, and Italy wasn’t a major power at the time. Hence, the four powers coordinating this system were the United Kingdom, Austria, Russia, and Prussia.
