Résumé
One of the key treaties of the “Congress System”, born out of the Congress of Vienna, was the Holy Alliance, signed in Paris on 26 September 1815, and ratified by most European states. This short document, with its mystical accents, deserves more careful attention than it has been given in the past. One of its major innovations was that it promoted the ideal of a “family” that included all states of the continent, including Russia. This article analyses the intellectual sources perceptible in that covenant – among them, a tradition of perpetual peace going back to authors of the eighteenth century, such as Abbé de Saint-Pierre. It also examines the reasons for the Holy Alliance’s lack of success, as well as two of its main side effects: the eviction of the Pope from his position as the tutelary figure of European politics, and the ideological ambiguity that would later contribute to the emergence of the Eastern Question.
