Plausibility: Switch the Roles of France and Hungary

Though we'll have to find out how Hungary should avoid getting its butt kicked by the Ottomans. Alternatively, if Hungary does fail to become the Eastern European analogue of France, then how could Poland act as the analogue to France?
If the Piasts remain in the Polish throne...I think they would had remained if Louis of Hungary was not elected King of Poland which alienated the Piasts, the Piasts of Silesia and Masovia from the Polish throne.
 
True, although the other alternative would be a Calvinist Hungary that accepts Ottoman Turkish vassal status (since the Protestants there may prefer the Muslim Turks to Catholic Hapsburgs), then later on if the Turks start to buckle, there could be a Hungarian Mehmet Ali Pasha analogue that could unify Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia under the Magyar Pasha analogue's rule. Magyar Pasha analogue would transform Hungary into an influential power that combines the actions of OTL France and Egypt.

And that maybe even takes over Egypt...
 
You guys area aware that Hungary had all that during the reign of Ludovik the Great in the 14th century. Prevent the succession crisis and you can have Hungary from Adriatic to the Black Sea strong enough to resist the Ottomans and strangle Venice in it's lagoon.

Would that also include Hungarian annexation of Wallachia in the process? I'll have to look more on Ludovik the Great and see if we can find a way to prevent the succession crisis from happening. What succession crisis are we talking about here? And not just strangle Venice, annex it if possible?
