What if the plan by the Archduke Ferdinand and Aurel Popovici came to pass? The Archduke was not assasinated in Sarajevo in 1914. He lived on and took the Throne in 1916 when the emperor died. He reorganizes the Empire into the United States of Greater Austria(USGA). So this scenario avoids the spark of war in 1914 with Serbia and the Dark Hand. How might this sequence of events effect the course of history? How would the Great War start if not for the assasination?
