I mean his father was bad in hsi own right but knew to let Bismarck do his thing

i doubt you could get Turds and russians on the same team

Give an independent Hungary with non retarded borders and I'm in

And the alternative to Willhelm who died early was attrocious

He might've actually turned Germany into a proper liberal constiturtional monarchy

Thankfully that Anglophile was a smoker

@Imperial J. Yay Obviously, would that include a coast

I was mostly thinking along the lines of splitting up the Austrian part of the empire

Hungary would be left intact minus the Yugo lands

splitting of Croatia?

or just taking present day Slovenia

Idk if the Serbs would like that. Slovenia would prolly stick with Austria thatw ould get Anschlussed to Germany

Maybe some sort of agreement could be reached abotu fleet basing right in Yugoslavia

Or idk the Romanians get fucked over

So Hungary gets access via the Danube

the second one sounds like a proxy access to the Mediterranean

which depends on t*rkey

I mean Turkey wouldn't be an ally in this timeline

Ideally Constantinople becomes jointly governed, something like that

Invading Slovenia is my preferred choice

or maybe split it with (former) Austria

If I had any say in it I'd Anschluss Slovenia along with Austria but give fleet basing rights to Hungary
Idk what form of government Hungary would even have and if it had a monarch if it would be Hohenzollern or something else

well any Hungarian royal family has died off a long time ago

There were minor nobles

Though I'd expect a foreign king to marry into local nobility anyway

Idk just install some German monarch, most smaller nobles were anti Habsburg and german in the first place

the reason we got Habsburgs in the first place was the aristocracy

Wasn't it because Habsburgs conquered part of Hungary after you had a civil war because of a dynastic struggle and the Turks invading

After which the Austrians took the rest of the country anyway

we crowned a Habsburg before that

it basically just went downhill after Matthew died

Sadly no Arpads anymore

Hunyadis were based as well

the family doesn't matter, only need someone strong enough to protect the people.

I have no problems with foreign (Christian) monarchs as long as they actually care about the country and not just treat it like a colony

That’s the family that inbred right? And made the abomination that was Charles II?

Yes Habsburgs

Tbqh the Habsburgs wouldn't have been that bad if they didn't split their empire once they had a personal union over most of Europe

Could've been the rekindling of Rome

But no Habsburgs had to be autistic
