Yes, Saxony is the one real exception. Target of Prussian ambitions for a very long time, they'd never go along without being conquered.

Hanover... not so much, actually. The Hanoverian King really just believed that he could have some sort of "third" way to the Prussians and Austrians. Foolish, overall. Any other King would have likely been more sensible, and willing to go with Prussia.

Very correct, actually, about Bavaria. Their King did, in fact, try to get a separate peace. No negotiations, however, actually happened - the Allies more or less ignored them.

Yes, they probably could have lasted the century with a different king. Wouldn't pass the end of WWI, however.
