Explanation:

The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) was convened after the Napoleonic Wars to stabilize Europe. Its core goal was to create a balance of power among European nations to prevent future large-scale conflicts. Option B refers to the Treaty of Paris (1783), option C's universal suffrage in the UK was a gradual process not linked to the Congress, and option D's German Confederation (led by Austria, not forced by Bismarck, who acted later) was a different post-Napoleonic development not the key outcome of the Congress.

Answer:

A. Europe established a balance of power following the Napoleonic Wars.
