...Wow. Way to not read the timeline, and the historical record.

Italy was allied with Prussia, and fighting Austria as well. If France intervenes, logic means it also fights Italy. Simple.

Those minorities were not a problem for Austria at the time.

This war did not assume a "religious character," even in this atl. Rather obvious. The sole reference to it is in the article on the treaty that would end it - and that refers to the areas annexed by Austria, which are also very clear.

Brits would not intervene.
