DBWI: Austrian Empire Not World's Dominant Power

Historically-speaking, Austrian dominance of Europe, and later the world as a whole, seems so inevitable. Does anyone have a non-ASB scenario in which the Austrian Empire is not the world's dominant power? I think this would be an interesting discussion.

You want to ask for something a little harder? :rolleyes: Just let the founder of the Dynasty to die in his childhood, or have the Ottoman hordes overrun Europe. There was a real possibilty of that before the Austrians got their shit together and pushed back through the Balkans.
 
I think the easiest one would be let the Habsburger die before the Bohemian or Hungarier Rules. Then the Territorie know as Viena etc would go to them. This would need a Pod in the 14th or 15th century (or was is 16th?)

A later Pod could be that the "Liberal" Revolution fail and the Austrians don't get the crown of Germany. So if there is no Groß-Deutsche Lösung. The Austrains wouldn't had enough Germans in their land. So maybe some hungary Indepedance Movements would end in the dissolvment of the Habburgian Empire.
