So as part of my recent trip to Bavaria, I got to learn about Karl Theodor, the 70 year old Wittelsbach ruler of Bavaria who died without a direct heir, and about his young wife who also acted to have a cadet branch quickly assume power upon the latter's death. Also read about the War of Bavarian Succession, which was more or less about this very issue of who should inherit Bavaria.

So, without going into too many details of how it happened (smallest and latest possible POD), what are the consequences of Habsburg Austria gaining Bavaria at the end of the 18th Century?
