- Territorial Losses: France lost territories that it had gained during the Napoleonic Wars. These included territories in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. France also lost control of several colonies, including Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Lucia.
- Financial Reparations: France was required to pay a large sum of money as reparations to the Allied Powers. This financial burden helped to weaken France's economy and made it more difficult for the country to rebuild its military.
- Occupation: Parts of France were occupied by Allied troops for several years after the Congress of Vienna. This occupation helped to ensure that France remained compliant with the terms of the peace treaty.
- Quadruple Alliance: The Allied Powers formed the Quadruple Alliance, which was a mutual defense pact aimed at preventing France from regaining its military strength. The Quadruple Alliance was expanded to include other European powers over time, and it played a role in maintaining peace in Europe for several decades.
These measures were successful in preventing France from expanding its country in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. France would not regain its status as a major European power until the late 19th century.
