In the 1990s, a rebellion occurred in Bosnia. While it was small scale, the Austrian army was accused of genocide.

Adding to this

Picture of a cemetery for the civilians killed during the Bosnian rebellion of the 1990s.

Throughout the 1980s, the system of ethnic groups having greater autonomy was starting to show its cracks, as ethnic nationalism, inspired by that of the collapse of the Ottomans of the 1970s to 1980s, was rising in Austria-Hungary. Like the rest of the Balkans, Bosnia gained greater autonomy, but radicals began rising up against Austrian rule. By April 1992, martial law was declared in Bosnia, and the Austrian Army started to intervene. While both sides committed atrocities, the Austrian Army infamously massacred civilians mistaken for rebels. Both journalists at the time and contemporary historians claimed that Austria had committed genocide in the region. By December 1992, the rebellion was officially declared over.
The aftermath of the rebellion caused various consequences not just for the Empire but also on the world stage. For Austria, the system of groups having greater autonomy was questioned, which would lead to the Serbian conflict (2014-present) and the War in Transylvania (2022-present). On the global stage, it saw the weakening of the Central Powers. The United States had expressed outrage over the war crimes committed by Austria. Combined with the strain the US had with the rest of the Central Powers over the fall of the Ottomans, and the end of the Bitter Cold, which ended when the Japanese Empire was declared to be dissolved on December 26, 1991, the United States left the Central Powers in early 1993, shortly before inauguration day of 1993. While Germany was quiet about the Bosnian situation, German-Austrian relations became bitter and cold. The cold relations reached a breaking point when Austria invaded Transylvania, and Germany announced that while it was neutral in the war, Austria was kicked out of the Central Powers. Currently, Germany is trying to rebuild relations with the United States, with talks about the US potentially rejoining the Central Powers.

Austria's collapse, in my headcanon, is based on the fall of Yugoslavia. Also, Austria didn't use a group made by nutcases to attack religious and ethnic minorities and call to make Austria great again (sorry couldn't resist), and the monarch not saying about it. Austria, for its part, tried to keep an Empire that extended far past its sell-by date alive by giving ethnic groups autonomy, at least until the 1990s.

Austria Hungry is basically just OTL Myanmar but European version

Ironically that Serbs and Bosnian are the victims against Austrian aggression and even alleged ethnic hatred towards them in the Balkan as well.

Also Austrian being the villain of Balkan kinda reminds that both Austrian rulers caused an large war in world

Austria Hungry is basically just OTL Myanmar but European version

Just minus the coups, another government launching an incursion, and also not having a full-blown dictatorship (yeah, Austria sounds bad in my posts, but they have a constitutional monarchy like Britain of otl).

All the other ethnic groups in Austria-Hungary working against a common foe (just before they committed war crimes against each other).

Fun fact: I actually watched this video about Mymhar history and actually shocked of how the state didn’t collapse like Yugoslavia or Soviet Union

Regardless, my point is that Austria want to have brutal crackdown against any ethnic groups to prevent rebellion against the Habsburg regime and its central authorities. Hell both Burma and Austria even gave autonomy zones against the ethnic groups in their country before everything turned to shit show.

They will overthrow the Austrian actionist regime until they started killing each other’s ethnic groups like in Baghdad or Jerusalem during the Ottoman collapse back in the early 80s

Just makes me wonder how GW2 would've gone if AH just collapsed in the interwar period and Germany was mired trying to keep some of kingd of kingdom together.

Picture of Dzhokhar Dudayev, President of the self-declared Chechen Republic of Ichkeria during the Ottoman dissolution.

After the Second Great War, the Ottomans gained territory from the Russians; one of them was Chechnya, a region that rebelled against the Russians. The 1945 Berlin Pace Treaties stated that Chechnya will be recognized as Ottoman territory. At first, the Chechens welcomed the Ottomans, but as the decades passed, many began to resent their Ottoman status. Chechnya declared independence shortly after Armenia and Azerbaijan declared independence in the mid-1970s. Due to the situation in Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Ottomans recognized Chechnya's independence and withdrew from the region. However, Russia, which became a federalized republic in the 1960s, invaded Chechnya shortly afterward, and Dudayev was killed during the fighting in the early 1980s. Chechnya was given an autonomous status shortly after the conquest, but to this day, the region is marked with violence and terrorism.

Is Russia better or worse left than OTL?

Fair point.

Thank you for pointing that out, Jett

Is that in your headcanon?

No that just referencing your Headcanon Ottoman collapse on the 80s

Isn't this all headcanon?

Better but a little bit (huge empathize, on the little bit) corrupt. At least Vlad isn't in power.

Everyone is giving their own headcanons, so there is really no wrong way to what you think happens before, during, or after the books.

Alexei Navalny, President of Russia (May 7, 2018-present).

Based Headcanon Jett, hope that Alexei fighting against corruption in Russia as well as Actionist sentiment against innocent minorities like Muslims, Jews and non-Slavic people.

Hope that Russian and other Eastern Europe communities are better off than those fascist, communist and corrupted ruled

Since Navalny's father is from Ukraine I would imaginate him being president of Ukraine.

Tsar Michael II of Russia

Grand duke Michael Alexandrovich became tsar after death of his brother Nicholas II. Michael wasn't so much intrested about personal rule than his late brother and allowed power to go to Duma. There ultranationalists, often called as nashis, took power. They enacted several even more antisemitic legistature. They too begun severe pogroms against other ethnic minorities speciality against Muslims.

Russia joined to Second Great War and tried capture pre-First Great War borders. Russia anyway failed and Petrograd was nuked at end of the war. Tsar Michael II realised that Russia can't win the war and futhermore the empire was falling to chaos and under Japanese attack on Siberia. He fired nashi government and temporaly took power for himself. Then the tsar sued peace with Central Powers.

Later Michael II signed peace with Central powers. Russia had cede some border regions to Finland, parts of Far East to Japan and Tuva to Mongolia. Russia anyway suffered from internal chaos and already during 1940's Chechnya, Dagestan and Central Asia gained independence. Michael II had too agree with new constitution which gave more power to Duma and basically made tsar figurehead altough him has still some power. restless continued yet many years but Russia managed to stabilise itself. Michael II died in 1952.

Expanding on this:

Image of Tsar George I (1910-1996) of Russia as a young boy. As the only son of Michael II, even with his morgantic marriage, George Mikhailovich was enthroned as Tsar of Russia in 1952 after the death of his father with the 1948 Constitution, as part of the provisions on the monarchy instituting a succession law replacing the Pauline Laws with more modern succession laws, naming George I, with Alexei dead from haemophilia and the Grand Duchesses all killed in the nuclear strike of Petrograd (with Maria and Anastasia both killed in said nuclear attack) or married to foreign royalty (in the case of Olga and Tatiana), the heir to the Russian throne. As Tsar of Russia, George I would be someone who would be a constitutional figurehead for the most part, more interested in paleontology than in politics [1] during his 44-year reign as Tsar of a reduced and shrunken Russian Empire with his reign, along with the last years of his father's reign, doing much to redeem the reputation of the Russian monarchy, even if left-leaning parties still are staunchly in favor of a Russian Republic.

Since Navalny's father is from Ukraine I would imaginate him being president of Ukraine.

Oh, I didn't know that (I guess that would explain why he thinks that way about Crimea in OTL). I like him being President of Ukraine better and maybe pushing for Ukraine to become more independent from Germany.

Yeah. Soviet Union has caused some mess and siplacement of people.

I was thinking of potential candidates for Russian President in my headcanon, and Navalny was the first thing that came to my head. In my defense, it was getting late where I lived, so I didn't have time to do research. Just know that Russia became a federalized republic around the 1960s, just being a little bit (huge emphasis on those words) corrupt in my headcanon.
