The Austrians are the issue..and the british too, any united germany is neo france 2.0 and something the british feared after what the republican commitee and later on napoleon do in the continent and overseas....and the austria just wanted 'business as usuals' as prussia are too weak to unite germany yetIn an alternate timeline, what if Germany had unified during the Wars of Liberation (1813-14) instead of the Franco-German War (1870-71)?
the banned @Beer did make a TL about, https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...hemes-and-the-eagle-a-revised-1848-tl.173667/It would be an interesting German-wank. If Germany made an alliance with France, for example, its doable. Russia's not going to war over Britain. I suppose Britain can blockade France and Germany. DOn't know where this leads.
