Congress from WikiPedia:
A congress is a formal meeting of representatives from different countries (or by extension constituent states), or independent organizations (such as different trade unions).
The term Congress was chosen for the United States Congress to emphasize the status of each state represented there as a self-governing unit. Subsequently to the use of congress by the US legislature, the term has been adopted by many states within unions, and by unitary nation-states in the Americas, to refer to their legislatures.
The following congresses were formal meetings of representatives of different nations:
- The Congress of Berlin (1878), reorganizing conditions in the Balkans,
- The Congress of Gniezno (1000)
- The Congress of Panama was an 1826 meeting of representatives from several Latin American republics organized by Simon Bolivar in an attempt to promote Pan-American unity.
- The Congress of Tucumán (1816)
- The Congress of Vienna (1815), reorganizing Europe after the Napoleon wars,
- The National Congress of Belgium was a temporarily legislative assembly in 1830, decided to create a constitution for the new state.
