Which are the possibilities for an Austrian state, created after the eventual dissolution of the Austrian Empire in 1867 (Ausgleich fails and Hungary gets independence etc etc), to join the German Empire after its proclamation in 1871, just like Bavaria did?
- Could the Habsburgs become just another Wittelsbachs, rendering allegiance to a Hohenzollern Kaiser?
- Could Prussia accept it inside the new Empire? In this case, could a Grossdeutschland's Kaiserreich impose even harsher peace conditions to France?
- This solution could boost another former German Confederation members (Limburg, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein...) to join the Empire as well?
