In 1917 Kaiser Karl's cousins were poised to win throne for themseleves. One was to be offered the Polish crown while his son, who commanded the Austro-Hungarian Army'sUkrainian Legion. It was to this Hapsburg that the Ukrainian people turned to. Let Us suppose that with the collapse of the Russian Military in 1917-18 this Hapsburg is offered and accepts the throne.
In 1918 he manages to use the legion as the bases for the creation of a Ukrainian National Army. The army is able to train and equip itself so that it is a capable military force. Thus when the war in Europe comes to an end the allies are left with a choice- support the new Kingdom of the Ukraine or allow chaos and the Soviets to seize it.
The British are convinced by Chuchill that it is better for the peace and security of europe to support a Hapsburg Prince on the throne than to allow the Red s to sieze it. France also agrees. Both countries supply the new government with arms and finacncial support. As a result the Reds are unable to crush the new Kingdom.
