Had Germany avoided resuming unrestricted submarine warfare (USW) in early 1917, kept the U.S. out of WWI, and thus ended up with a peace treaty which allowed it to keep its Eastern gains while Austria-Hungary still collapsed (due to the shock that WWI resulted in Austria-Hungary), what would a German-managed partition of Austria-Hungary in 1918-1920 have looked like?

Basically, there were various ethnic groups and countries who competed for various territories in the former Austria-Hungary. Thus, I am wondering as to which countries Germany would have awarded various disputed territories in the former Austria-Hungary in this TL (were Germany to act as an arbitrator in these disputes, which seems likely).

Anyway, any thoughts on this?
