AH in CP Victory World

What would be the future of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in a world where the Central Powers are victorious? I know that the way the CP wins WWI is important when discussing this, but since WWI isn't my forte I am unsure of when to have them win it.

In any case, would the Empire break up or would they be able to hold it together? If they do hold it together, would it end up becoming more of a proxy confederacy than anything else? And if it splits up, would the various nations just become German vassal states or would the A-H Empire breaking up lead to some true troubles for Germany?

Honestly I think it would stay together and continue its bumpy ride. The longer it stay together the more stable it going to be, but the first years is going to be hard, and number one focus would be to limits the Hungarians power. The best solution would be to give Galicia to the new Polish state, annex Serbia* and make Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia into the empires third kingdom.

*with more or less its pre Balkan Wars border
 
The problem with that is both the Hungarians and the Austrian Germans were opposed to a third monarchy.

But crucially Karl was not opposed to it, and it is going to be he who has to steer it through

I see a few years of difficulty, but eventually some sort of Quadruple Empire, presumably renaming itself back to Austria. The Czechs and the South Slavs would get their own legislatures.

I agree that Galicia and Krakow would be ceded to a new vassal Poland

Exactly so. Naturally, I have read... actually, despite making a CP (well, Allies)-victorious TL, I have only read the Ottoman one, I think...
