====== Points of Divergence : Austria-Hungary ====== When it comes to the history of the Habsburg Empire, [[pods:pods|PODs]] concerning Austria-Hungary are among the most captivating and commonly asked about. Due to the sheer number of such POD questions, we;ve decided to dedicate an entire sub-page to alternate developments in the Dual Monarchy (you can also access this page from the POD pages of the modern successor states of the empire, available in the main country PODs list). This page will only list PODs that occured during the existence of this state, i.e. between 1867 and late 1918. It will also focus primarily on the empire as a whole - therefore, if you're looking for a POD that only concerns a successor country of Austria-Hungary during the Dual Monarchy's existence, please look for that POD at the specific successor countries page. ---- ==== Founding Years PODs ==== **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=296104|No Emperor Franz Joseph]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=337772|Challenge: Austrian "devolution" before 1859 (with a POD after 1815)]]** **[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=229079|WI: No Austro-Hungarian Ausgleich]]** **[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/maximilian-becomes-emperor-of-austria-hungary.429079/|Maximilian becomes Emperor of Austria-Hungary]]** **[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/what-would-an-1870-1871-partition-of-austria-hungary-look-like.423059/|What would an 1870-1871 partition of Austria-Hungary look like ?]]** Know of any PODs or POD discussions ?
