I would agree that terrain isn't a key issue, although time and the available resources might be if such a peace was agreed. Germany will have lost a lot of numbers on the eastern front and either have to pull back some way or really stretch out their forces to try and hold the existing front...

Well I'm not sure where those overseas colonies came from as Austria never really had either the interest or capacity for such. Agree their better off without NE Italy as well as unless Italian nationalism hasn't developed at all - which is probably unlikely without drastic changes elsewhere...

Ah that's what I was thinking of but forgotten the expansion due to Prussia annexing much of Saxony in 1815.

Well that's wider than I remember seeing on some maps for when it was 1st taken by Prussia. Possibly there had been some provincial boundaries changed since then? Or simply that my memory isn't what it was. o_O Plus I was presuming that Poland is formed pretty much as OTL so Posen region...

If Silesia was 'returned' to a state including Bohemia then its probably less out of place, especially with an independent Poland than with Germany to which its attached by a relatively thin link. Historically it was part of the kingdom of Bohemia for quite a while.

Good question. I did read something when looking at things yesterday on wiki that the US was already calling for the splitting up of the empire and its power over the allies is likely to increase the longer the war lasts. Plus there is a desire in many of the other nationalities to get away...

Well if Germany fights on and is inevitably defeated then it could lose Silesia to Austria/Poland and also the three southern states, which still retained a level of independent identity might have ended up in an Austrian sphere of influence.

I can't remember exactly as read a while back. Think he was prepared to make some concessions but not as many as Italy wanted and possibly accepting the loss of Bosnia HG which I think many realised was a drain on the empire. Unfortunately the Anglo-French weren't prepared to either make other...

Its an interesting idea and something I've considered myself in ATLs. Less a stab in the back - other than the transfer of Silesia - than the AH empire simply looking out for its last chance of survival rather than being dragged down by imperial Germany and the lunatics there. With great...
