Europe if WW1 avoided

Suppose a conference is agreed terms something like an international investigtion, led maybe by Arthur Conan Doyle, to investigate official Serbian involvement in Franz Ferdinand and Sophie's murder.

Would Austria Hungary still exist in 1935?

How would Russia be doing?

How bad would Ireland be?

When would England and Germany agree women's suffrage?

Well the 1917 Ausgleich negotiations would be rough, because the Hungarians wanted to negotiate de facto independence and were willing to go to war over it, while the Russians would have completed their military and rail build up. Then Franz Josef would be dead and Karl was just as weak, but had none of the gravitas/mystique of his predecessor.

Both the Ottomans and Serbs would have been far more recovered from the Balkan wars, Romania would be pro-Entente after their German monarch dies in late 1914. Italy would be less happy with the Austrians and Germans by then, Britain would be estranged from the Entente by 1917 due to the failure to renew the Anglo-Russian agreement. France would have modernized its military too. It would be an interesting world.
