OTL doesn't seem to suggest like the Habsburgs really wanted to develop Hungary (if someone can say that Hungarians live like in the Middle Ages it doesn't seem like they were trying to develop the region). 8 millions more than France, what a large population. But why give the same amount as...

It would also try to get Bohemia and Austria back at any given occasion, they would probably ally themselves with the Russians against the Ottomans but getting back their western holding is important. It was a fear IOTL because the nobility was afraid that with more Slavs the Hungarians are...

The financed Russia because it was an urgent need, AH doesn't have the urgent need of industrializing unlike Russia, so I don't see why they would lend as much money as they did to Russia. Really AH has no chance, Germany alone would probably be able to break AH while fending off any attempts...

You seem to underestimate the North's capability at taking away any industry the South had. The South IOTL while conservative had some industries but the Northern politicians moved all capital from the South to the North and used the South to collect a lot of taxes to pay off the huge debt they...

That's not the point, if you have a cabinet appointed by the Kaiser you will have a very different thing than if the SPD dominated Reichstag was to be in charge. What does with "some years" mean? Most attempts at cultural assimilation have failed, but the population which had to endure it is...

1 million men is what Austria lost on the frontlines in ENTIRE war (not counting those who died in hospitals, as POWs, disappeared etc.), not in 1914. Not losing in Galicia in 1914 is far from solving the officers problem, with such a big expansion of the army in such a short amount of time you...

The question is why would the US do this? What's the point in leaving Europe's gates open to the Soviets?

When the US went against the Second Mexican Empire it wasn't "going after Mexico again", it was supporting republicans in Mexico.

But the VNQDD is kind of irrelevant at this point.

Depends on how much power Whilhelm has to give up. My guess is that he has to make minor reforms and remains in power. Almost a colony, the local population is not treated as bad as in other German colonies (since they're not racially inferior) but it still will be far from ideal. All four you...

What do you exactly mean by KMT intervention? Help to the French colonialists? China trying to invade Indochina?

I doubt, they weren't very relevant once the French returned (all resistance movements outside, and perhaps even including, the Viet Minh were irrelevant).

North Africa is not in the Middle East.

Several crusades passed trough the area and historically they only took one city, gave it to the ERE and continued, to conquer all of the Rum Sultanate you would need decades of fighting in Anatolia; the Crusaders were only passing and wanted to go to the Holy Land, not conquer the Seljuks so...

Why? The Spaniards won't go to war with the US if they're fighting Mexico.
