Well, I'm currently interested in the Franco-Austrian rivalry in a post-Napoleonic Wars context. Assume that a more pragmatic Napoleon felt that he already reached the zenith after the third coalition (with some milder treaties thanks to his modified personality), France sought peace with Britain, Prussia, Austria and Russia. I would like to see an early Cold War version between 3 blocks led by Britain, France and Austria respectively. It's inspired somewhat by Toixstory's below map though in TTL Austria was a French ally:
My question is how Austria could reach an equal great power status with Britain and France later while Russia and the USA remained wild cards (bonus point if Prussia and Russia were junior to Austria in their block). Also, what would be the effects on:
- Balkan
- Egypt
- India
- North America
- East Asia, especially Japan
- Dutch East Indies
- Australia
I'm pretty clueless about this period so would be glad to hear your ideas on this.
