User blog:ChrisL123/New Crimean War timeline

I've been thinking about this one for a little while and wanted to see how plausible it was. It originally centers around the and later changes a lot of history (hopefully):

What I had in mind was that because of their work in helping suppress the, the Austrians are more sympathetic and agree to fight alongside the Russians. They agree to join the Russians in war, as long as the Russian troops were removed from the. The two powers would later influence the northern Ottoman states (Moldavia and Wallachia, Serbia and Bulgaria) to revolt against the Empire with them. From what I anticipate, the alliance would be enough to defeat the "Allies" of the war (Britain, France and the Ottomans), which would mean the Russians and Austrians would have a stronger bond. What that would mean for the future:
 * The Russians would assist the Austrians in the Austro-Prussian war; perhaps they win but probably not
 * The British and French wouldn't want Austria in their alliance, and the Germans wouldn't either, and the alliances would be GB-France, Italy-Germany, Austria-Russia.
 * Seeing as how the Serbians, Russians and Austrians would have closer bonds, it is less likely that Archduke Ferdinand would be assassinated. If he is, however, war would probably be avoided and peace talks between the three would be established.
 * World War I wouldn't happen, but I'm sure a major European War would spring up sometime

Does this sound fairly plausible? The only thing I can't think of is a title...
