In OTL the Austro-Hungarian empire disolved due to ethnic tension. Much of this ethnic tension was motivated by priviliges for Germans and Hungarians.
What if another solution was presented to the Austrio-Hungarian question? What if the empire was federalised? Federalisation instead of seccesion.
How would the empire be federalised? Should each commune have a census and belong to the majority ethnic group? Or should ethnic federal states be carved out on a different basis? Which basis? How would the map look like?
What effects would federalisation have on the economy of the empire? During WW2 a problem for the Austro-Hungarian empire was that the train systems of diferent regions did not fit each other, something that decreased the transportation effiancy.
Was federalism ever a possible soulution for the Austro Hungarian empire?
