If Archduke Franz Ferdinand hadn't been assassinated and Emperor Franz Joesph had died on schedule and Ferdinand became emperor in 1916 what would be it's effects? Assuming a world war hasn't happened yet.
The Hungarians would definitely oppose such a drastic reform of the Empire and Franz Ferdinand might cause a civil war if he still tries to reform (the Hungarians had their own army units y'know).

I never said the Hungarians would win a civil warbut it would weaken the Empire severely.
Bright day
And some of these units are Croatian, Slovak, Romanian, Serb or you know actually loyal to Emperor and King.
The more probable matter is that Hungarian nobility will block Franz Ferdinand in legislature and he won!t be able to do much. So Cisleithanien will be modern democratic country and Transleithanien will remain stuck in feudalism.
A dissadvantage for the pro-Imperial troops is that they rely on Kadets, and during WW1 there was a distinct lack of them (Because of the general killing fields) so that would put any pro-Imperial force at a significant disadvantage as they relied on Kadets to keep the force together.
