Hungarian victory at the battle of Trencin

[Rockingham]

Would Hungary end up independant in this scenario? Would their be any effect on the war of Spanish succesion? Or would the Hungarians get thrashed sooner rather then later? Would it bring Prussia into the war on Hungary and France's side?

It is possible

I don't think Prussia was too interested in jumping into the War of the Spanish Succession. With the Great Northern War raging next door to them, they had to keep the army close to home.

If you have Frederick William I of Prussia get involved in Hungary, and perhaps actually use that beautiful and outrageously well-funded army of his, and then actually becomes the King of Hungary, you've just thrown a serious monkey wrench into 18th European history.

This would be a really really cool timeline.

Yes my thoughts exactly. I'm not sure if it would have a large enough effect on the WoSS's western theatre for the French to inherit most of the Spanish territories, but that combined with a Prusso-Hungary would be...different.

Nice to see this bumped BTW, always embarassing when a thread gets ignored

I would argue that a Prussia-Hungary would result much more likely in Austria retaking the Spanish throne as now a combination Austro-Spanish Monarchy isn't as threatening to Great Britain. If that didn't happen, I'd argue a similar end to the War of Spanish Succession as OTL, and after Austria and Prussia switch historic roles with Austria uniting Germany.
