In the wake of the Seventh Coalition’s victory over Napoleon, Tsar Alexander I of Russia advocated a ‘Holy Alliance’ among the Great Powers to restrain the forces of liberalism and secularism. He was joined in this endeavor by Prussia and Austria, and the alliance soon grew to embrace most of the Christian kingdoms of Europe. However, the Holy Alliance was undermined by the conflicting interests of its members and collapsed with the death of the Tsar in 1825.
