Metternich, Prince Klemens von (1773-1859) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A diplomat and statesman of the Austrian Empire. Metternich\'s ambassadorships included Paris, where he obtained a close view of Napoleon. In 1809 he was appointed foreign minister and in 1821 chancellor, and held both posts until driven into exile in 1848. Deeply conservative in his views, Metternich presided over the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and was without doubt one of the great architects of the restoration of the international order which had been mangled so effectively in the French revolutionary wars. This impressed Henry Kissinger, who made him the central figure in his Harvard doctorate. See also Talleyrand. |
