    Can’t we just combine Austria and Hungary again? Everybody loved that.

    Well, except Bosnian Serbs I guess.

      Austria isn’t as blatant as Hungary but their policy is also pretty russia-friendly.

      And there is a reason A-H collapsed and it wasn’t just because of WW1 and Bosnian Serbs. Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Romanians or basically anybody who wasn’t German or Hungarian hated the monarchy in the end(With the possible exception of the Croats, who reached some kind of agreement with Hungarians right before the collapse).
