Did the Congress of Vienna hold back the revolutionary legacy?
According to me,the Congress of Vienna did support conservatism.First of all we must go back to the definitions of liberalism and conservatism.
Liberalism stood for individual freedom,equality of all before law,abolition of church authority as well as monarchy,liquidation of the feudal system and manorial dues and formation of a government by CONSENT.
Conservatism on the other hand was a stark opposite of liberalism, at that time it stood for establishment of traditional institutions like church,monarchy,social hierarchies and believed inDivine Rights of the King etc.
The French Revolution of 1789 sounded the death knell of the monarchical system,the execution of Louis XVI clearly showed that the people would not accept inherited power and authority without challenge.
French Revolutionary wars and Napoleonic wars spread the idea of liberalism (liberal nationalism to be more precise) throughout Europe ,wherever the French "citizen" army trodded ,the old feudal ideas would be replaced by the new liberal ones.New republics sprouted out in the face of Europe like the CisAlpine Republic,Dutch Republic etc which were filled with the spirit of liberalism.
Following the defeat of Napoleon,a new conservative order was established by the major European powers namely Britain,Russia,Prussia and Austria in the Congress of Vienna with a view to restore peace and order in Europe.The congress undid what had been spread by the French by reviving the old monarchical forms.For example,the Bourbon dynasty was reestablished in France,Poland was partitioned up,Monarchy was set up in Dutch Republic.Thus the old monarchical ordered that had been overthrown by the French was restored to create a conservative order by the Congress of Vienna.
( These conservative regimes were autocratic and were intolerant towards criticism and dissent.Censorship laws were passed to control what was said in newspapers,books,poems and plays to prevent them to spread ideas of liberty and freedom.)
Why did the congress of Vienna occur?
Are related as an unintended consequence of the Congress of Vienna. The Congress created the Germanic Confederation from a large number of very small German Duchies that had proliferated over centuries. They were all self governing entities and 360 of them had been lumped together into a confederation of 38 states. Together, they forged themselves into the Germany that wrecked the European balance of power in World War One and Two.

Why did the leaders at congress of Vienna fear nationalism?
He was correct to form that opinion; nationalism ripped the Austrian Empire apart and for exactly the reason he predicted. The Austrian Empire was ruled by the German-speaking Austrians who were a majority in a very small minority of the Austrian Empire. There were far many more Slovenes, Croats, Serbians, Bosniaks, Hungarians, Romanians, Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks than Austrians and these peoples would eventually demand independence on nationalist grounds. When this nationalism was realized at the end of World War I, the Austrian Empire ceased to exist.
What were the key decisions made at the Congress of Vienna?
Important People:
Though the conference opened with a series of glittery balls and conferences, the delegates soon got down to work. Mainly, the four major powers of Europe (Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain) were left to make most of the big decisions. Austria was represented by Prince Klemens von Metternich, the Austrian minister of state who was also acting president of the Congress. The Russians sent Alexander I, the emperor of Russia. The main delegate from Prussia was Prince Karl August von Hardenberg, and Great Britain was represented by Lord Castlereagh, and later Arthur Wellesley, the first duke of Wellingtom. This group of major powers decided that France, Spain, and the smaller powers would have no say in important decisions. However, the French diplomat, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, was successful in allowing France to have an equal voice in the negotiations. Talleyrand became the deciding vote in many of the decisions.
Important Decisions:
