I have read that there were proposals in the 19th century for a canal between the Rhine and the Danube. What would have been the consequences if (however unlikely it seams) it had been built.

Would the Austro-Hungarien empire have grabed Bavaria?
How would it have effected the Crimean war, or would that war have happend at all?
What would have the Ottomans reactions to it been?
How would central and eastern Europe have developed?
Would the Ukraine have tried to break from Russia?
Would Germany have united or remained divided?
Would WW1 have happend earlier, latter, the same or not at all.
