1) How could have this situation come into being ? What would be the most suitable PoD ? I'd figure, it should involve successful 1848 or something.... But maybe it should also include some earlier changes ? That I still don't know..... But I'd like to have it no earlier than 1770.
2) Should a Great War analogue happen in this world, how will the alliance system most likely look like ?
3) Should it involve some kind of 1848, I have kinda imagined the way that more actually Kleindeutchland would unite (thanks to Glen for his certain TL as my source of inspiration for that), however I still don't know how Italy would unite, let alone if Italy would be as likely to unite......
4) The last but not least, how likely this map is ? This is basically just a rough-y sketch of my plan. I'm certainly willing to make necessary adjustments to make things more plausible. But the primary things that I want to have it in no matter what are :
a) Germany being united by neither Prussia nor Austria, and the said both nations staying out of Germany or any incarnation of, at least until 2nd decade of 20th century.
b) Ottoman Balkans still basically intact, as depicted in the map.
Thanks in advance
