A-H was at a rather pivotal moment in its history in 1914. Franz Joseph was in his last years, and the next renewal of the Ausgleich in 1917 was coming up.
Absent the war and its stress, Franz Joseph might have lived a bit longer, so the Ausgleich might have gone fairly smoothly in terms of maintaining the status quo. But what if he dies, say, in 1916, as in OTL? Would A-H have collapsed in the face of Franz Ferdinand's reform proposals and Hungarian opposition?
