How could Austria-Hungary have survived?

How could Austria-Hungary have survived?

Preserve the Ottoman Empire as a viable threat, which would bind most of the Slavs to the Austrian core much more firmly.

Do what they wanted to do and federalize.

Franz Ferdinand wanted to establish a triple crown but he was thwarted

Honestly the Habsburg state was done for with the rise of nationalism. Too many ethnicities under one umbrella

By not losing WW1 that's it.

Not trying to annex Serbia and start a world war.

Not annexing Bosnia during the Berlin Congress. That would've prevenyed WW1 the way it happened.

has it in short.

Getting simultaneously shat on by multiple world powers whilst the international foil which justifies your existence collapses is not a good place for an already-tenuous hodgepodge of a state to occupy.

Forced everyone to speak german as their first language and be catholic somehow

sophomoric
They could have easily lasted assuming federalization happened

Cant be two USA's

Speaking as a Czech this is the nation I'd want to live in.

Kill Conrad von Hotzendorf

Federalize and integrate the Balkan Slavs.

Industrialize and standardize infrastructure

Kill Conrad von Hotzendorf

>trialism maymay
Retarded. If it became a triple monarchy with Croatia then Bohemia would ask for quadrialism wtih the Czech crown included, etc. They should've just federalized like Switzerland, separate cantons but one centralized military.

By being a modern industrial state that could win WW1 (Not sure if possible)

UK and France had most colonies and almost infinite resources compared to them, they would probably blow up because of war sooner or later .

The part about it being destroyed because it was a multi-ethnic state is entirely post-war anglo memes. Don't believe in "prison of nations" lies, they are rationalisation propaganda.

>behead Franz Joseph
>crazy ass jacobine like terror
>federation

Than hope that the Germans or Russian won't attack for them lands.

By not being so grossly incompetent during WWI. They definitely would have survived otherwise, they certainly had the strength to.

By uniting with the rest of Germany

By industrializing, giving some larger minorities like Croats, Romanians, Slovaks and Czechs some concessions to curb hungarian influence, seek closer relations with Serbia to persuade them to pacify large Serbian minority and resettle them to Kosovo, not become German satellite state
AH was dwarf thinking it was giant

Yes, most nationalities were content with the empire, by and large
>should it have
probably not

By winning world war I, meme all you want the only reason they didn't survive is because the allies didn't want them to.

Union of South Africa.
