austrian empire

What if Charles I and Sixtus could plan with the Entente for an Austrian White Peace? Would Austria become Neutral or invade Germany? How would this affect the relations between Vienna and berlin? How does this affect the future of Europe?

What if Russia was removed from Europe in crimean war ? POD is Napoleon III and Palmerston convince Austria to join the Crimean war and that a panslavic Russia is more dangerous for them than independent Poland and Ukraine. They create rebellions in Finland, Belarus, Poland and Ukraine while...

I've been reading into Hungarian history. I been fascinated with Matthias Corvinus's conquest of Archduchy of Austria, and the Bohemian Crown Lands and Louis the Great's empire with him being King of Hungary and Croatia, Duke of Bosina, King of Naples, and elected King of Poland. One thing that...

Honestly I don't know much about the 18th century but this is an important point for my story "Victoria Austracista" (where Archduke Charles (Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor) becomes king of Spain in 1710) so I wanted some opinions to know what could happen. Elizabeth of Russia ruled the country...

what if Napoleon married young and had an adult heir whom he always took with him to teach war in battles and politics in court. He never invades the Ottoman Empire and Spain. Along with dissolving the Holy Roman Empire created Hungary with Serbian and Croatian territories and Poland both as...

What would have happen if Franz Joseph (aka Empress Sisi's husband) was able to marry the first woman he loved before sisi, Princess Anna of Prussia (Otl Landgravine of Hesse)? Story goes he wanted to marry her but she was already engaged to Prince Fredrick of Hesse-Kassel (the widower of Grand...

Chapter I. Para Bellum Jan Frans Vonck and his faction within the Austrian Netherlands, the Vonckists are arrested by austrian authorities, in the years leading up the 1789 Brabantine Revolution. Meanwhile, Henri Van Der Noot, is in exile in the Dutch City of Breda, and is amassing an army of...

Napoleon as he took over France, began to consolidate the state and its instructions around himself being a monarch in all but name as "First Consul." Napoleon by the Early 19th Century became much more of a moderate Conservative and drifted towards monarchism as a means to preserve the ideals...

Like it says on the tin. Was there any way the Austrian Empire could've gotten its hands on Silesia as a result of the Treaty of Tilsit? Perhaps if the War of the Fourth Coalition was an even tougher victory for Napoleon than IOTL (the French armies were exhausted and far from home), and so he...

Like it says on the tin. Could Austria be the one to unify Germany in the 19th century, rather than Prussia? The elephant in the room in this scenario is the fact only a quarter or so of their empire's population is German, could that be handled somehow? Perhaps by giving Hungary and other...

Napoleon II lived in Austria, and was loved by Emporor Francis, his maternal grandfather. So I have a challenge for you, make him somehow become Emporor of Germany/Emporor of the Germans. Good luck! May use these ideas for a timeline, I'll be sure to credit you though :)

The decisive engagement of the War of the Fifth Coalition, the Battle of Wagram came on the heels of the French defeat at Aspern-Essling and ended with a decisive yet bloody victory for them. The Austrian army's numerical disadvantage was worsened by the fact the reinforcements (around 13.000...

Without a fixed POD, the revolutions in Central Europe succeed and the Austrian rulers submit themselves to the Frankfurt parliament and Prussian king/ German emperor. What would become of the other Austrian territories? The Hungarians tried to become independent, but every minority in the...

Suppose that the Sardinian army adopts a different strategy in the First Italian War of Independence: instead of trying to besiege and take the Austrian fortresses in the Quadrilateral directly (and, among other things, wasting a precious amount of time at the siege of Peschiera), they cross the...

The Six Days' Campaign was Napoleon's last display of the brilliance that marked the first years of his military career. Hopelessly outnumbered and leading an army made up of conscripts who barely knew how to use their muskets, he scored four back-to-back victories against the Army of Silesia, a...

In the late 18th century, there was an idea pushed by Catherine II of Russia to partition the Ottomans' European territory, which ran roughly as follows: Austria would receive Bosnia, Serbia, northern Albania, and western Wallachia. Russia would receive Pontus in Anatolia and create two new...

After he gave the proclamations regarding the loyalty of Austrian and Hungarian officials, the Republic of German-Austria was proclaimed. However, according to the book I read, Blessed Charles of Austria, both Renner and Seitz were starting to falter on the idea of republicanism and they both...

After the Napoleonic Wars, was it possible for the Austrian empire to directly annex Bavaria, Saxony, and the Thuringian states as they all border the Bohemian crown? Could kingdoms with non-Habsburg heads be integrated and if so do they just pledge loyalty to Austria as they did otl to Prussia...

Let's say the coalition does better in the early phases of the war but are only able to stalemate with France. Napoleon manages to conquer the German borderlands and keep Holland, Italy, and Spain within his sphere of influence but gets injured in Germany making him more agreeable to a truce...
