What's SHS?Austria-Hungary would be able to devote more troops to the other fronts.
Weather this lets the central powers win is anyones gues.
If everything still collapses as OTL it might have interesting effects on the inter-war period,for one the state SHS(basically big croatia) might actually survive to some extent with no danger of italian annexation.
Italy might still try to grab Triest but i dont see them getting much more if they stayed neutral,the croatia coast and south tyrol is deffinatly out of the question.
If we consider the habsburgs sending more soldiers south to the salonica front as well then serbia would probably be to smashed to even think of making any yugoslavia.
In the end we might even get some kind of peace of exhaustion and avoid ww2 altogether.
Unless the CP's win, that's unlikely. They'd be arguing from a position of strength. Their army and navy would be at full strength. They might take the South Tyrol, Triest, Dalmatia, the Dodecanese Islands and Lycia with the British and French being to weakened to bother stopping them.Austria keeps Tyrol in the CP looses scenario, Austria gains navel dominance over the Adriatic that threatens Italy, and in both Italy is treated like crap for it's non-involvement.
Thanks. I've learned something new.Yugoslavia was formed after the enlarged kingdom of serbia joined with the state SHS(Država Slovenaca,Hrvata i Srba).
It was a fairly short lived nation so its natural for many people to have never heard of it.
It could have been a viable nation provided italy didnt try to swallow it and serbia was to weak to take its territory.
^You mean Yugoslavia?

- Serbia is screwed, without Italy support in the evacuation of her army the casualities will be much much more.
I meant keeping South Tyrol. The Italians wanted it, because it would mean that their land borders were ringed by mountains. It would secure their borders. Could the Entente stop them? Sure. Would they? Probably not. Austria's positioned in a way that would make it hard for major power to intervene aside from defeated Germany.I meant if CP win Austria get's navel controltoo late to change that now.
Oh well.
