Austria entered into the Congress of Vienna worried about the Russian influence on Prussia and King Frederick III. Austria and Prussia maintained a good working relationship through the Congress of Vienna. With Prussia’s win of the Kingdom of Saxony, Metternich feared an unbalance of power, so Austria and Britain signed a secret alliance. To avoid war Prussia compromised and took only part of Saxony. In 1815 Austria, Prussia and Russia formed the Holy Alliance. The policies Metternich proposed to battle against liberal political change at this time, dominated not only in Austria but the German Confederation, which includes Prussia.
