AHC: France/German/Russian Alliance

In a POD starting from 1848 make it so that by WW1 these countries are allied or at least friendly towards eachother.

Bonus if it is after or just before the Franco-Prussio war

Holy Crap...

I have no idea... er... Britain, Austria, and the United States would have to be in a pretty tight union to allow this and one side or the other would pretty much have to be terribly evil.

France and Germany after the Franco-Prussian War?! You're blowing my mind.
 
Austria collapses into a radical workers state along the Danube in 1848. Russia tries to intervene through the Pannonian Plain and is soundly trounced, leading to the Danubian principalities being absorbed by the state, while Italy gets... complicated, in a religious/ethnic conflict way. Eventually the Danubians are mostly successful on the peninsula, with Lombardy, Venetia and the Papal Legations merged into the greater state, while the rest of Italy unites under an aggressive papacy protected by the Savoyards in the north and the Bourbons in the south, under French tutelage.

In the meantime France is stabilized as a moderate republic, with Russia undergoing earlier reforms in the face of extensional destruction, while Prussia gathers the remaining German states under her wing who fear Vienna, except for a few states that can't decide if they hate the radicals in Vienna or the reactionaries in Berlin more.

Over the next twenty years the Danubian worker's state expands into the Balkans as Vienna stirs up ethnic and religious strife to break away the frontiers of the Turk's empire.

By the late 1870s early 1880s the next great European conflict breaks out when the Danubians try to bring Bavaria into their sphere of influence and Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, (as well as Istanbul and Rome) move to crush the worker's state.

Take a look at my TL. While Russia is more or less allied to France/Germany only in the modern times, France and Germany are allied since the early 20th. century.
 
Not answering the question:

This type of WW1 would be cool since it would most likely be like a fight between an Elephant and a Whale. Since these countries are mainly land powers and their potential enemies would be naval powers (mostly).
 
How will french politics be affected due to a german alliance?

Will france become more or less industrialized because of this?

And how will Austria be affected?
