This. The only way A-H could had work is through further decentralization. The Austrians and the Hungarians should had made agreements with the Croats and the Czechs exactly like the the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and turn the empire into A-H-C-C/"Great Danubia". I'm still more inclined to say that Prussia should had just invade the German parts of Austria after the battle of Königgrätz and let Hungary and Czechia become independent, but that deserves an entirely new discussion.

How would the Russian Republic have dieded if Wilhelm II. hadn't sent Lenin over?
Would Trotsky have assumed control much to the chagrin of leftypol?
