AH Challenge : Austria-Hungary benefits the most from a central powers victory.

We have all seen the super Germany CP victory with a global spanning empire, mittleafrika, collapse of Austria-Hungary, neutered Russia, ect...

However....

You challenge is, with a point of departure no later then January 1st 1914 *this is to allow a rework of Austrian military policiy if needed* to have the largest long term benefits.

There are several conditions.

1- The Dual Monarchy must remain intacted, however suggestions from members of Austria at the time such as the Federalization of the Empire can be accepted.

2- Austria-Hungary cannot become a huge switzerland and have nothing to do with any alliance ever again.

3- By 2000 Austria-Hungary must be the top power. It does not have to be the worlds puppet master, but pretty much on top for the moment. Think America today.

Good luck.

Well, I am planning something like the first two for a TL, but there is no conceivable way that number three is coming true. Even federalized, the sum of the parts is nowhere near anything like the US. The only way it can happen is if the US, Russia, Germany, and China all get nukes, probably with the UK and France thrown in for good measure. If that happens, there probably won't be an AH anyway, so that's it. Try the ASB section and you might get better results.
