i'd like this but if this ever happened we wouldn't change the borders from today we'd just create a large coutntry with the borders already existing. There's already a group called the Visegrad which would probably become a country so if we had Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and any balkans who wanted it would be nice
European Union beta version.

If the USA hadn't been goaded in by their dirty bankers to support the Entente, then we'd still have a great Austrian Empire today and the world would be better off.

No we wouldn't, nationalist movements and ethnic tensions would still destroy it and even before ww1 AH was being called a sick man, it like the Ottomans was doomed to collapse.

You need to either expel people each from their foreign nations and put them inside their home nations first, or you have to grant autonomy to each and every clusterfuck minority there, which is a bureaucratic nightmare.

Again, no. The Habsburg Empire was just as much on the verge of collapse as the Russian and Ottoman Empires. Too many minorities, too many enemies, and too much intertwinement with Balkan chaos. The fact that it had to become the "Austro-HUNGARIAN Empire" after Prussia kicked its ass in the 1860s just goes to show how weak they were at that point.
And surprise, surprise, the first year of war against Russia and Serbia just went to illustrate how weak their nation had become. If the Central Powers had managed to win the Great War like they fucking should have, the nation would have immediately broken into pieces, with its parts of Poland and Italy going to their respective owners, Bosnia and Hungary becoming independent nations, and Austria itself (along with maybe the Czechs and Slovaks) would've finally admitted defeat and be absorbed into the German Empire, at last fulfilling the dreams of an almost pan-German nation to succeed and one-up the >H>R>E.

Why is it a great idea, and how did the slavs fuck it up?
