Hi
Again myself and a friend had an interesting disscussion today, which i would like to hear your opinion on.
During the Crimean war, austria did threatend russia with invasion and so they pinned down about 300000 russian troops, according to a history book of mine. This did sever the "good" relations which had grown between Russia and Austria after the napoleonic wars.
So my question is, if austria had supported Russia during the crimean war, ie not pinned down theese troops, could russia had won the crimean war? and even more importantly could Russia helped defeat the prussians when they moved on Austria, in order to unite germany?
In my opinion german nationalism was so strong germany was bound to be united somehow, so in what way would they be? a revival of the holy roman empire under austria? or is it even feaseable that germany unites with a stronger austria which beats prussia?
Thanks for all answers
