This is something I've been thinking about.
Let's say for whatever reason the Austrian Kingdom of Illyria manages to survive and remains an equal part of Austria throughout
the 19th century, what would be the affects of it?
Now, to make it more interesting lets say that the Austrians agree to grant the Kingdom Lower Styria*, thus realizing the idea of a
United Slovenia, how would this affect history and, in the 20th century, assuming the Austro-Hungarian Empire disentigrates, what
would become of the Kingdom, would it remain part of a multi-national Austrian Federation, or declare itself independent?
*As a result of them being seen as the most loyal, or because they helped with something or the Austrian Emperor being a Slovenophile.
