Prince Klemens von Metternich was a key figure in European politics during the early 19th century, primarily known for his role in the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815). He advocated for a balance of power in Europe to prevent the rise of any single dominant state, which helped establish a framework for international relations that maintained relative peace for several decades. Metternich also supported conservative policies, opposing nationalism and liberalism, which influenced the political landscape of Europe during his time. His diplomatic strategies and emphasis on stability had a lasting impact on European diplomacy and governance.
