A Place In The Sun

Point(s) of Divergence:

Prussia loses the Austro-Prussian war, with no major loss in territory - Austria and Prussia battered and tired. Hungary, badly affected by the war, and furious at the taxes it must now pay for what it sees as Austrian incompetence, rises up and declares independence. Secession of the Kingdom of Hungary from Austria-Hungary. Kingdom of Austria declared.

German Confederation survives, Austria, much reduced and facing the more powerful Magyar state, looks to it's old sphere - Germany. Union signed in 1872 in Vienna - the creation of a 'German Empire' with the Habsburg monarch as Emperor. House of Hohenzollern pacified by awarding portions of Austrian Poland to the constituent state of Prussia.
