More so, as they were not "neutral."

Bavaria, being the strongest, would likely dominate the small area. An alliance of sorts between these southern states may be possible in the future.

Most versions of WWI I've ever seen with a Prussian loss in this war pit the Brits, Prussians, Italians, and some minor states against the southern states, Austria, and France. Ottomans normally with the Brit alliance, and the Russians with the French.
