Say John III Sobieski lives a little longer manages to get his son Jakub Louis as the King of Poland using the influence from the Polish-Lithuanian victory in the great turkish war. Or at the very least confirm his succession with the sejm prior to his death.

How would this affect European dynamics and the upcoming War of Austrian Succession?

How would Poland-Lithuania fare vis-a-vis Russia and Prussia?

Also how would it affect Austria's strength for the upcoming war. I suppose France, Spain & Bavaria will still declare war, so would holding Naples, Sicily & Lorraine be more help or hurt for the Austrians, British & Dutch?

Would Prussia still make a dash for Silesia?

Thanks for the ever enlightening discussions.
