Young Metternich was educated at the University of Strassburg, and afterward studied law at Mainz and traveled in England.

 Klemens Wenzel von Metternich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metternich sought to form a coalition with Viscount Castlereagh and Hardenberg, the Prussian chancellor, to oppose Alexander's plans for a constitutional Kingdom of Poland under Russia's rule.
Metternich then shocked the Prussians by signing an alliance with Castlereagh and Talleyrand, the French envoy, on January 3, 1815, to prevent the annexation of Saxony by Prussia, which was to be her compensation for giving up Polish land to Alexander.
Due to the fact that Metternich dominated Austrian politics during the era, and mainly because he best exemplifies the spirit of the Concert of Europe, the period in between the final defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815 and the Liberal Revolutions of 1848 is often referred to as the Age of Metternich.

 H-Net Review: Philip G. Dwyer on Metternich: The Autobiography, 1773-1815
Metternich claims that he knew beforehand that these attempts would fail, and that he had every intention of joining the Allies, essentially after he had demonstrated that Napoleon was beyond redemption, and that he was only prolonging the negotiations in order to allow the Austrian army to mobilize (pp.
Instead, students of the period are going to have to muddle their way through Metternich's maze of fabrications, half-truths and omissions, which are sprinkled with a healthy dose of the same moral superiority that must have irked his contemporaries.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: The Salad Days of Henry Kissinger
Metternich was a man whom Kissinger emulated, whose diplomatic life he has sought to relive.
And if his reading of Metternich has taught Kissinger anything, it is that personality could ape beau-ideal, and that once in the seat of power, ultimate seriousness could be transformed to the diplomat's disdain.
The image of Europe's fate being played out in negotiations by foreign ministers who were free of popular constraints and who maintained almost unlimited autonomy with respect to their own heads of state is one that held unlimited appeal for him.
