Well anything that starts at the balkans and earlier will mean that A-H probably means that FJ is still ruling and he is easily manipulated into war. So instead A-H sorting out its domestic problems it will be an active player. A funny fact that the reason of the Great war was in a country that was the only Great Power that did not even participate in it. I believe without staying out of the mess and without the "Act of Federation of 1918" the Monarchy would have dissolved soon. What would Europe look today if the United Danubian Empire did not exist. Even today it remains the only Monarchy in Europe. Millions of jews have fled to the UDE in the 1930and40s to flee from Persecution in so many lands. Only the Kingdom of Israel has a higher percentage of jews living within its boundary. THE fact that many higher educated jews stayed in or came to the UDE, Szilard, Teller, Einstein, Meitner (not all jews of course

) and many others pushed A-H to the top of science - where it remains today. THE WIT, the Budapest University, .... nameless others .
Germany backing A-H would have led to an even worse 20th century than OTL. At Least A-H remained forever a haven of peace freedom and prosperity - sunlike so many otehr countries...
I am looking forward to the first manned mars landing in three weeks. Teh rRed Planed will become Red Green Blue soon
