The [[Holy Alliance]] was a coalition of Russia, Austria and Prussia created in [[1815]] at the behest of Tsar Alexander I of Russia, ostensibly to uphold Christianity in European political life but in practice as a bastion against revolution. In time other European nations joined as well.

The '''Holy Alliance''' was, in a manner of speaking, the first modern international peacekeeping organization, though it was rooted in antiquated models of politics. The Alliance is usually associated with the Quadruple and Quintuple Alliances, which included the United Kingdom and (from [[1818]]) France with the aim of upholding the European peace settlement concluded at the Congress of Vienna. The Alliance was conventionally taken to have become defunct with Alexander's death in [[1825]].
