The setting takes place during the early 19th century, a transformative period marked by significant political upheaval, industrial progress, and exploration. The year is 1815, shortly after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars, which reshaped much of Europe’s geopolitical landscape. The Congress of Vienna (1814-1815), held to restore stability and redraw boundaries, resulted in a delicate balance of power among major European nations. Amid these diplomatic negotiations, the Age of Exploration and technological innovations such as steam engines and mechanized textiles were accelerating societal change, particularly in Britain and France. Meanwhile, revolutionary ideas advocating liberty and nationalism were spreading across Europe, fueling movements that would lead to future upheavals.

This period is characterized by a mixture of conservative monarchies maintaining the old order and rising liberal movements pushing for democratic reforms. The industrial revolution was in full swing, transforming cities and labor systems, while colonial empires expanded globally, adding complex layers to international relations.
