yeah individuals are more complex than simply saying x was competent and y was incompetent. A person can very well be competent in one thing and incompetent in another. Tsar Nicholas II was extremely competent in economics and orations, but incompetent in matters of societal development and democratic development, for example.

That said, French politics will certainly be interesting with Action Francais transitioning into a proper center-right - right political party. They will absorb a lot of radical defectors, i believe. French politics is so under highlighted in early 20th century TLs that i intend to make them a key part of the tl here.
Hmm........ interesting book title. Could it translate to the secession of Hungary?
Well it could but personally i would like it to mean a union between crown and people of hungary against the magnates
An arch duchy can presumably have subordinate levels of devolution
Also given oil reserves in Qatif region, Southern Iraq, Kurdistan, and Libya, the Ottoman realm can grow to be quite wealthy.
Also the geostrategic location of Libya, Lebanon, and Istanbul… Plus it seems like across the Empire industries are being developed, which means economic diversification; maybe in the more modern age the Empire creates a sovereign wealth fund to further that

Well looks like the Arab bottle is only going to keep getting more shaken over time with a Arab republic and another large attempt to forging a nation will trigger a hot rise in Arab nationalism.
Well Iran got lucky their that prime minster reminds me of how Hafizullah Amin during communist Afghanistan alienated everyone and and almost lost the country, better to nip that in the bud before it got unstable in a country with far more minorities than just Arabs who would it as them being forced to give it up by a Persian.
Nicolas seems to be improving as a Russian leader, maybe could of found a way to exploit it but interfering everywhere and gambling is how the German empire ended dividing Germany into more than four pieces, better to respect a treaty.

Danubia does dissolve, but its more due to external factors than internal ittl.
This assumption would be correct. They end up co-belligerents with the Ottoman's enemies in the Second Great War
Arab nationalism is going to be a tricky period for the Ottomans to get over that's for sure
Apologise what does that mean constitutional monarchists? Or its not their main priority?
More or less both constitutional monarchists and not making it their main priority.
Perhaps the British foreign office realized they were getting a tad too powerful and decided that it would not do for British interests.
I would more guess being on the wrong side of the 2nd great war.
Nazi germany was willing to ally with Italy and Japan, nations that stood against imperial Germany. What ever alliance Austria joins or stands against it will have some kind of grudge, for the allies due to it Fighting for the central powers, and central powers it will be Austrias betrayal in the honorable defeat.
