Hello Javi,
All your answers are correct. Congratulations!
Some comments to your answers: the Concert of Europe was also known as the Congress System. Several congresses were celebrated in Europe from the Congress of Vienna in order to try to solve the conflicts in the continent, but this concert experienced changes after the 1848 Revolutions and the unification of Germany. Otto Von Bismarck created a system of alliances that transformed international relations in Europe and these alliances had lot to do in the outbreak of World War 1.
Alexander I´s history is very curious. There is a legend that says that the Siberian hermit Feodor Kuzmich was the former tsar. This hermit was later glorified and worshipped by the Russian royal family. Nobody knows what really happened with the tsar.
Good night and see you tomorrow.
