    An Austro-Hungarian stab-in-the-back of Germany during World War I?

    Karl agreed to give up Trentino to Italy in exchange for compensation elsewhere. It's not much, but it's something.

    An Austro-Hungarian stab-in-the-back of Germany during World War I?

    I'm not sure that Austria-Hungary's mountainous topography would be enough to prevent it from getting invaded. I could see Germany trying to do some kind of deal with the radical Pan-Germans combined with the Magyars where the radical Pan-Germans get their dream of being annexed to Germany after...

    An Austro-Hungarian stab-in-the-back of Germany during World War I?

    By the way, @stevep, do you know what I think that Austria-Hungary's greatest achievement was? Spurring on the development of Ukrainian nationalism in Galicia. This nationalism eventually spread to all of Ukraine, eventually culminating in the successful Ukrainian resistance against Russia's...

    Yep, Saxony used to be quite a bit larger relative to Prussia: Saxony and Prussia in 1789: Saxony and Prussia in and after 1815: Also, off-topic, but you might be interested in this 1917 article which argues in favor of the creation of an independent Czechoslovakia...

    The border between Silesia and the rest of Prussia was narrower initially: But in addition to Posen, Prussia also subsequently unified with Saxony, et cetera.

    Silesia's connection to Germany wasn't that narrow:

    Good analysis, Steve. FWIW, I myself think that the Hapsburg Empire needed a bit more glue holding it together than just the Hapsburg monarchy. I mean, the EU at least has a common history of European Christian civilization, but Austria-Hungary doesn't quite have its own unique niche to the same...

    An Austro-Hungarian stab-in-the-back of Germany during World War I?

    If Austria-Hungary is successfully occupied by Germany, though, will it get restored after the war by the victorious Allies or would the push for independence among its subject peoples have become too strong by the end of the war?

    Also, question: Will Upper Silesia be going to Poland while the rest of Silesia will be going to Austria in the event of a separate peace? And any chance that Bavarian independence can be secured as well?

    An Austro-Hungarian stab-in-the-back of Germany during World War I?

    What were the proposed terms for the separate peace? Also, this would mean that if Italy would have remained neutral until then, then a separate peace with A-H would have indeed been made by the Anglo-French, right? Anyway, reasonable analysis, Steve. FWIW, I wonder if Germany might still...

    An Austro-Hungarian stab-in-the-back of Germany during World War I?

    What if Austria-Hungary stabs Germany in the back during World War I? I'm specifically thinking of a separate peace where A-H loses Galicia, Bukovina, Bosnia, Dalmatia, and Trentino while being promised German Silesia in the event of an Entente World War I victory. The logic behind this would be...
