  Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle (1818) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The congress convened in Aachen on October 1, 1818.
The immediate object of the conference being thus readily disposed of, the time of the congress was mainly occupied in discussing the form to be taken by the European alliance, and the "military measures," if any, to be adopted as a precaution against a fresh outburst on the part of France.
The congress, which broke up at the end of November, is of historical importance mainly as marking the highest point reached in the attempt to govern Europe by an international committee of the powers.

 Congress - LoveToKnow 1911
In 1647 the meetings of delegates for the conclusion of peace, assembled at Osnabruck and Munster, were termed a congress; and in spite of objections to it on the ground that it was "coarse and inappropriate," based on the physiological sense of the word, it continued thenceforward in use.
Before a congress meets it is customary, not only to agree on the place of meeting (a question often of firstclass importance) and on the Powers to whom invitations are to be sent, but to define very carefully the nature and scope of the business to be transacted.
The presidency of the congress is by courtesy reserved for the minister for foreign affairs of the state in which the meeting is held; if, however, he decline to serve, a president is elected; VI.

CONGRESS (IN By congress is understood a meeting of ministers plenipotentiary or sovereigns of different states, having the power and mission to conclude a treaty of peace, determine the consequences of a treaty concluded, or settle undecided points of international law.
Among the number are the congresses of Cambrai, 1721-5; of Soissons, 1729; of Breda, 1747; of Focsani, 1772; of Bucharest, 1793; of Lille, 1797; of Rastadt, 1799; of Ghent and Châtillon, 1814.
The method pursued by congresses in their work is not uniform, and depends upon the more or less general character of the meeting, the number of states represented, and their reciprocal relations.
