Crossposting by MOTF entry:
And my first MOTF entry for a long time:
In this world, Austria was never involved in Polish Partitions. This led to a surviving Poland and a world of two camps:
1. The Two Emperor's Alliance: Germany, Russia and various other small states.
2. The Entente: Austria, Britain, France and other small states.
The Great War broke out in 1912, following the assassination of the Russian Prince Alexei by Polish activists. As the Russians moved to crush the Polish rump state, the Entente declared a guarantee over the nation. Russia ignored this and invaded anyway. In retaliation France invaded Germany. As the war escalated, Austro-Hungary was devastated by German and Russian forces, before being liberated by the French and Italians (who had joined mid-way through the war). The reborn Austria had lost several territories, but remained a regional power. The war ended in 1917 and the map shows Austria and surrounding countries after the treaty, including the new nations of Wurrtemburg and Bavaria.
