Talleyrand
and Metternich
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Graf_Clemens_Metternich.jpg)
Metternich and Teyllrand have
many things in common and many differences too. The main difference they had is
that they were born in different countries, one was French and the other one
was Austrian. Another difference between them is that Metternich was a
conservative and Talleyrand a liberalist. Metternich’s main interest for
Austria was to keep the old regime, this means to continue with an absolute
monarchy; while Talleyrand changed his mind from conservative to liberalist. (Biografias
y Vidas, 2004-14).
Even if they have many
differences they also have some similarities. For example, Metternich and
Talleyrand were born in wealthy and noble families. According to Wikipedia, both
were diplomats and politicians. Metternich was the minister of foreign affairs
for 27 years, while Talleyrand was changing his position in the French government.
He was also the minister of foreign affairs in France, but he also was a priest
before turning to the government politics. He had many positions, according to Wikipedia,
he was member of the Constitution Committee of the National Assembly, Ambassador
of France in London, Member of the National Institute, etc.

All in all, this two
personalities can seem very different; however, there are some little similarities
that can be observed during their careers. Both were great diplomats and politicians,
because they searched for their countrys’ interests. As ministers of foreign
affairs, the both used tricks, threats and bribes to get whatever they wanted.
In addition, Metternich and Talleyrand received numerous royalties and awards,
because of their great skills and efficiency.
