He now resides on the island of St. Helena in the middle of the South Atlantic. The time has come for the major nations of Europe to come together and figure out a plan for the future of Europe. The major countries involved include Prussia, Austria, Russia, Great Britain, and the defeated France. Historically, the Congress of Vienna in 1815 redrew the map of Europe and led to the rise of conservatism, nationalism and revolution in Europe for years to come.
