As we all know, Austria became part of the German Empire after the Austro-German War of 1874, where the German Empire dealt a crushing defeat on the Austrian Empire which led to Hungary and Croatia becoming independent (Croatia became a monarchy with a local aristocrat as their king while Hungary proclaimed itself a republic) and Austria (and Bohemia) annexed by the German Empire. So, what if there was no Austro-German War and Austria wasn't annexed by the German Empire? Was Anschluss an inevitable thing? Or could Austria have survived as a nation independent of the German Empire?
