I have posted a few threads about a Franco-Austrian alliance following the defeat of Prussia in either the Seven Weeks War or the Franco-Prussian War. If as I have tried to argue a Franco-Austrian alliance could be maintained (with or without an aligned Italy and Southern German states) I am wondering about Poland.
France has a long history of pro-Polish sentiment. Prussia will have been defeated. Austria will have won its war but perhaps only on France's coattails. Is there a plausible scenario that this speeds up the creation of a free Poland?
