The Congress also stopped potentially explosive issues from getting out of hand: the Poland issue could have led to war or further hostility, but it was handled with extreme care by a group of very capable diplomats.

Such were the real objects he had in view; the ostensible object was to mingle in all the affairs of the European nations, and to pass as the arbiter of their destinies.
Prussia only brought to the congress an immoderate desire for extending her possessions at the expense of the whole world, and without regard to any principle of justice or even of decency.
The cabinet of Vienna had therefore to fear that, by allying itself too closely with France, whose support was essentially useful in its contests with Prussia and Russia, it might have to sacrifice to this power a part of its great interests in Italy.
