The Hapsburg Emperor's title was Kaiser as well, you know... Probably just another standard "Austria-Hungary falls apart for no real reason and then Wilhelm II takes it all because he feels like it" event, right?Straha said:Sorry no its the kaiser's germany...
What's wrong with A-H staying together?Straha said:austria hungary implodes in a bloody civil war so its not for no reason. Try european stability ass a reason.
And what causes the bloody civil war?Straha said:austria hungary implodes in a bloody civil war so its not for no reason. Try european stability ass a reason.
I guess I'll have to see your timeline before I say more...Straha said:the stress of WWI despite being a central powers victory combined with austria-hungary being in decline lead to the whole system collapsing in the 20's and 30's...
I'd have to ask why it would be unpleasent when it really wasn't that unpleasant during OTL, and OTL was during a massive losing of a World War, while this seems to be in a world where Austria-Hungary won said war...Straha said:Austria-hungay's implosion is... unpleasant to say the least. Germany moves in to restore order..
Let's see problems wrong with that...Romulus Augustulus said:Try a reformist Austrian Emperor deciding to give the Slavs more rights, angering the Hungarians, who have traditionally had a lot of power through keeping the Slavs under their thumbs, leading to their eventual secession from the Empire, leading to a civil war, leading to a collapse of the remaining portion of Austria-Hungary as Austrian and Serbian leaders decide to call it quits, followed by militaristic German annexation of the sucessor states.
So, what happens to keep the Japanese from attacking Russia in 1905? I know that they probably still do, but that was almost the spark that caused the Japanese belief of superiority.Straha said:1 what do you mean stop? This japan has korea and taiwan in 2004. Japan didn't have the militarists take power. Its been a firm Union ally since the 1890's

Austria would have massive advantages in a Hungarian secession, especially if they have the slavs on their sides.
And I don't really see Germany annexing Austria-Hungary... Note that Germany has tried to be ethnically German and mostly Protestant, which Austria-Hungary goes almost completely against. Also, Germany and Austria-Hungary are allies who have just won a World War together. Germany would be helping Austria put down Hungary, not laughing greedily...
