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?

I'm kind of a newbie here, so I'm not sure if this is the right board to post this on (please tell me where if it isn't), but I have some ideas for a timeline that I would like feedback/more in-depth knowledge on, (ill admit my knowledge of history is pretty eurocentric unfortunately, so id...
