What if Austria goes to war against Russia during the Crimean War? Just how successful would it have been in this war? And what if Austria would have made it an explicit war aim to not only drive Russia out of Wallachia and Moldavia, but also to outright annex these territories for itself? Would Austria have succeeded in doing this? This would mean no independent Romania in the 19th century, of course, but what additional effects would it have had? Any thoughts on all of this?
