Detailed Solution

The quote "When France sneezes, the rest of Europe catches a cold" was said by Metternich. Duke Metternich, the Austrian chancellor, hosted the Congress of Vienna in 1815. He was a superb diplomat and one of the most influential politicians of the time. He stood in for the European continent's conservative forces. He bore witness to the French's immense influence on Europe's social and political climate. The ideals of democracy and liberty originated from there and spread across the continent. The Bourbon kings, who had been restored to power during the conservative reaction after 1815, were deposed by liberal revolutionaries, who established a constitutional monarchy with Louis Philippe as its leader, when the first uprising in France occurred in July 1830. It led Metternich to remark that When France sneezes, the rest of Europe catches a cold.'
