AHC /WI Austria changes before 1914

Is there a way for the Austro Hungarian empire either to collapse in revolution or be radically reformed such that it ceases to be seen as oppressing slavic people.

Does this prevent World War One?

Does it improve relations between Russia and Imperial Germany?
 
1848 Russia doesn't intervene, Hungarians succeed in seceding.


But is that possible?

There were close ties between Hungarian and Polish nationalists, and several of the Hungarian generals were in fact Polish exiles, so Russia can hardly let the Hungarians win. They can stay out only if confident hat Austria can suppress the revolt unaided.
 
Maybe Prussia tries to intervene in the Hungarian theater of the 1848 Revolution? The German states came close to unifying in 1848.
