Even after the congress of Vienna, many people in Europe would have welcomed Napoleon back. Explain why you think this would be so. Was the congress a complete success? What advice would you have given a delegate to the Congress if you were a ruler? An aristocrat? An ordinary Citizen?
I think this would have been so because well the Congress of Vienna is making things equally good for everyone, but the people who have worked, or stood up with napoleon have learned and have begun to have the feelings of Nationalism. With Napoleon back in the game, people could use him very usefully against others. No, the congress was not a complete success because it was unable stop the forces of Nationalism and the desire of people for freedom, which would lead to another revolution. I'm stuck on the last part.

If you were a ruler attending the Congress of Vienna, your advice would depend on your goals and interests. As a ruler, you might prioritize maintaining stability and balance of power in Europe, as well as preserving your own authority. Therefore, you would likely advocate for strong measures to suppress any resurgence of Napoleon or his ideals, in order to prevent further disruptions.
As an aristocrat attending the Congress, your main concern would be preserving the privileges and social order that aristocracy enjoyed. You would likely advise for measures that would strengthen the role of the nobility and ensure the continuity of the existing social hierarchy. This might involve supporting the restoration of monarchies and opposing any liberal or nationalist aspirations that could threaten aristocratic power.
As an ordinary citizen attending the Congress, your perspective would be shaped by your desire for greater political participation, social equality, and individual rights. You would likely advocate for reforms that promote democracy, liberal principles, and civil liberties. Your advice would go against suppressing the desire for freedom and nationalism, and instead encourage the recognition of popular sovereignty and the aspirations of the people.
It is important to note that the Congress of Vienna aimed to restore stability and reestablish the conservative order, which was in line with the interests of rulers and aristocracy. However, it failed to fully address the forces of nationalism and the desire for freedom that had been ignited by the French Revolution and Napoleon's rule. These unresolved tensions eventually led to another wave of revolutions in Europe in the mid-19th century.
Overall, the Congress of Vienna can be seen as a temporary success in restoring stability and preventing major conflicts, but it was not able to address the deeper societal and political changes that were emerging. The advice given to delegates would largely depend on their position and interests, and it would reflect their priorities in maintaining or transforming the existing order.
