The genius of the Habsburg Empire’s Prince Klemens von Metternich in framing a new international order after the Napoleonic Wars was that he did not push a defeated France into a corner. Although Metternich sought to deter any possible French resurgence, he restored France’s prewar frontiers.
哈布斯堡帝国王子克莱门斯·冯·梅特涅在拿破仑战后建立国际新秩序的天才之处在于，他并没有将战败的法国逼入绝境。尽管梅特涅竭力阻止法国复兴，但是他恢复了法国的战前边界。
