Welcome!
This Althist tells what would have happened, if the Hungarian revolution in 1848-49 succeeds, and the Austrian Empire collapses. I'm making this Althist to have fun with it, and to parctice English (I'm Hungarian) and because I love history :)

Point of Divergence
After the revolution in the march of 1848, and the April laws, Hungary got a big autonomy inside the Habsburg Empire. The emperor, Ferdinand I and cancellor Metternich, who reigned instead him wanted to destroy theese privileges and annex Hungary to Austria. They wouldn't declare war currently on Hungary, because Ferdinand sworn to the defendig of his kingdom, Hungary. In this situation, Vienna appointed Jellasic, and he became the Ban of Croatia, without the permission of the Hungarian government. Then, Jellasic attacked the country, to reach Pest-Buda, and destroy the April laws and the new government, but the Hungarian army, led by John Móga won the Battle of Pákozd on 29 September. Jellasic refugee to Austria, and crossed the border on 9 October. The Thrid Vienneese Revolution broke out on 6 October, and the people waited to the Hungarians. In OTL, the Hungarian army reached the army on the 10th stopped till the 30th. But now, they attack immediately and destroy the army of the Crotaians. Then the Hungarians marched into Vienna, and pushed Ferdinand from the throne. The Austrian Empire collapsed.
