I'm working on a timeline where Joseph II's health does not deteriorate in 1788 upon his return to Vienna and he remains emperor, eventually causing a revolution in/breakup of the Hapsburg Monarchy, likely leading towards Austria spreading nationalism and the revolution across the German states. Could this have realistically occurred? How would it have occurred in the Hapsburg monarchy? What would have been the political ramifications? How would the Ottomans, Russia, and France react?
