klemens von metternich became foreign minister in 1809. he also held the post of chancellor of state from 1821 until 1848, under both francis ii and his son ferdinand i. the period of 1815-1848 is also referred to as the "age of metternich". during this period, metternich controlled the habsburg monarchy's foreign policy. he also had a major influence in european politics. he was known for his strong conservative views and approach in politics. metternich's policies were strongly against revolution and liberalism. in his opinion, liberalism was a form of legalized revolution. metternich believed that absolute monarchy was the only proper system of government. this notion influenced his anti-revolutionary policy to ensure the continuation of the habsburg monarchy in europe. metternich was a practitioner of balance-of-power diplomacy. his foreign policy aimed to maintain international political equilibrium to preserve the habsburgs' power and influence in international affairs. following the napoleonic wars, metternich was the chief architect of the congress of vienna in 1815. the austrian empire was the main beneficiary from the congress of vienna and it established an alliance with britain, prussia, and russia forming the quadruple alliance. the austrian empire also gained new territories from the congress of vienna, and its influence expanded to the north through the german confederation and also into italy. due to the congress of vienna in 1815, austria was the leading member of the german confederation. following the congress, the major european powers agreed to meet and discuss resolutions in the event of future disputes or revolutions. because of metternich's main role in the architecture of the congress, these meetings are also referred to as the "metternich congress" or "metternich system". under metternich as the austrian foreign minister, other congresses would meet to resolve european foreign affairs. these included the congresses of aix-la-chapelle (1818), carlsbad (1819), troppau (1820), laibach (1821), and verona (1822). the metternich congresses aimed to maintain the political equilibrium among the european powers and prevent revolutionary efforts. these meetings also aimed to resolve foreign issues and disputes without resorting to violence. by means of these meetings and by allying the austrian empire with other european powers whose monarchs had a similar interest in preserving conservative political direction, metternich was able to establish the austrian empire's influence on european politics. also, because metternich used the fear of revolutions among european powers, which he also shared, he was able to establish security and predominance of the habsburgs in europe.
