In TTL, Russia elects not to aid Austria against the Hungarians, leading to a total collapse of the Empire by 1850. What now?
You're understimating the austria...but maybe this could work for the best, separated magyar and focus on italy and croatia insteadIn TTL, Russia elects not to aid Austria against the Hungarians, leading to a total collapse of the Empire by 1850. What now?
What are the borders of independent Hungary? Croatia-Slavonia was loyal to Austria.
Rather than a full collapse of the empire, I think the below is more likely. Hungary-proper becomes independent, Galicia-Lodomeria goes free, but the remainder of Austria holds together.
I think a big question would be, who becomes ruler of Galicia-Lodomeria? Agenor Romuald Gołuchowski?
Could we perhaps see Austria gaining Saxony and putting the Wettins on the throne of Galicia-Lodomeria?

Russia will tolerate a free Polish state ,which Galicia would be, when he'll froze over (Or Moscow thaws, whichever comes first). No way the Wettins agree to that deal assuming Russia dosent intervene to "protect" Galicia first.
Maybe Galicia is forced to constitutionally proclaim itself to be a multinational state of Poles, Ruthenians, and Vlachs/Romanians? (And perhaps Jews).
Russia (and Prussia) would still be extremely opposed to the state. I think they'd rather intervene and see Austria survive than see even a semi-Polish state develop.
How strong was Turkish control on Serbia? Might they have have tried to grab southern Banat?
I think Galicia Will stay with Austria for now, are them or the Russian, and the they prefer the Kaiser over the tsarGalicia-Lodomeria goes free, but the remainder of Austria holds together.

I wonder what happens to Venice/Northern Italy in this scenario. Does the Kingdon of Lombardy-Venetia declare itself independent? Do they latch on to the Kingdom of Sardinia? Does a rump Austria keep them?

And more important as they needed Venetia as the home of the Austro-Venetian Navy, with hungary out, they would even look more to keep control on their italian provinces nowThe Italian Nationalists and Piedmont had already gotten the smackdown by the time the Hungarian turnaround took place. Austria will be able to defend the area even if they concede to the Magyars, and given it's one of the biggest revenue generators for the Crown you can bet your behind they will.
