AHC: Grossdeutchesreich, Independent Hungary

Hypothetically, with the POD of a more Liberal Prussian Monarch in 1848 and assuming the 1848 actions aren't butterflied, what would have to happen to create a Greater German state including Austria and Bohemia into a German state?

Also, what would have to happen for the remnant part of the Austrian Empire going towards an independent Kingdom of Hungary (albeit under a personal union with the new German Monarch)?

Perhaps more intense Hungary uprisings?
 
An even more nationalistic Prussia than the one of our timeline could annex Austria in an ITTL equivalent of the Austro-Prussian War. A butterfly with an early death of Franz Josef, or not even having him ascend to the throne, could make this more likely.

Maybe Prussia would divide non-German areas such as Bohemia into zones of influence, much the same way that Germany administered its Eastern Front acquisions of late WWI.
 
It's impossible with Bismark, he didn't want any more Catholics under their rule as it was. Also the balance would be shattered and many powers would not like or allow such a thing.

Which is why "he" was Ottilia Bismarck Weber in my CoHE TL. Franz Joseph also died fighting in Italy prior to ascending the throne (another helpful butterfly).
