Austria's views on France

Austria would have been very happy with the result of the Congress of Vienna. They were rewarded with a large empire, but also a very diverse one. Their leader was the charismatic Prince Metternich, who was very conservative, anti-liberal, pro-legitimacy, and hated revolutions. Obviously, he would not have been very happy with France, which at the time was characterized by its revolutions (often bloody), political upheavals, and constant unrest. Because of his hatred of these characteristics, he established the Holy Alliance, with Russia and Prussia. Before the Congress, Austria as a whole was probably hostile and fearful of France (due to their immense empire), while remaining in a shaky alliance. After, they were probably satisfied with them (due to the results) but still cautious.
