  1. A treaty-based customs union of European kingdoms
  2. Great powers managing order by regular consultation
  3. A permanent assembly of all European states
Show the answer

Answer: Great powers managing order by regular consultation

It was an informal practice: the great powers met when crises arose and settled them together, with no charter or membership for smaller states.

2. From which settlement did the Concert of Europe emerge?

  1. The settlement after Napoleon's defeat
  2. The peace ending the Thirty Years' War
  3. The treaty ending the Crimean War
Show the answer

Answer: The settlement after Napoleon's defeat

The Congress of Vienna (1814 to 1815) redrew Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, and the victors agreed to keep cooperating to preserve that order.

3. Why is the Concert called a forerunner of international organizations rather than one itself?

  1. It excluded every monarchy from membership
  2. It met only once, in 1815
  3. It had no permanent bodies, staff or seat
Show the answer

Answer: It had no permanent bodies, staff or seat

Without a secretariat, headquarters or founding charter, the Concert relied on ad hoc meetings; later bodies like the League institutionalized that habit.
