Had Austria defeated Prussia in the Austro-Prussian War, what would France have made of the situation?
OTL as Prussia defeated Austria, France pushed diplomatically for the Palatinate and Luxembourg. How might France take advantage of a Prussian defeat?
Austria wouldn't be able to exert the diplomatic force against France that Prussia historically did in, say, 1867 during the OTL Luxembourg Crisis.
France mediated the peace of Prague OTL. I imagine the French would be mediating the peace TTL, and I can't help but think they would push to gain lands along the Rhine - potentially even go to war perhaps.
What about Hohenzollern Spain? Would France be as opposed to the idea TTL?
