#Peacecongresses are a phenomenon that developed strongly in the 17th century and their function changed over time. However, research still focuses mainly on the #WestphalianPeaceCongress, which overshadows all others until the #Congress of #Vienna in 1815.
So far, #congresses as spheres of #emdiplomacy have received little attention in research. Oetzel argues that they differed in many ways from other #diplomatic activities which were usually carried out in a courtly environment.
