Answer 2

Metternich remarked "When France sneezes, the rest of Europe catches cold". With this remark, Metternich referenced to two major events.

One event was the rebellion started by the people of France. This rebellion soon landed entire Europe in a mess.

The other event was when Napoleon seized France and became the France dictator. Napoleon after seizing France brought all his political goals to other nations of Europe as well. It was during this time that Napoleon tried to expand his power to as far as Moscow.
