Re: Central European Monarchy
Onwards the monarchist revolution! I'll give them my full support. They might be quite popular in Austria, as they're always going on about the "Kaiserlich und Königlich Zeite". They must be one of the most old-fashioned countries in Europe. The Hapsburgs were thought to be a "lazy autocracy". A compromise could be that in stead of having the President, who is head of State and has no power, he is replaced with the Kaiser and with weekly military parades along the Ring in Vienna.

Re: Central European Monarchy
Yes, let the Hapsburgs come to power once again, and take the Austro-Hungarian throne... I would get worried that they try to invade the United Kingdom, however...
Here, here, King Henry! Let the monarchists run rampant, and bring down the indefatiguable plague of republicanism...

Re: Central European Monarchy
The Austrians weren't strong militarily even at the best of times, so I doubt they would be able to invade Britain

Re: Central European Monarchy
That is a mostly wrong Viewpoint. They where very strong and battled victorious against the Invading Ottomans, with Italian and german Douchies. However they were mostly fierce Diplomaths, which made Metternich defeat Napoleon.Originally Posted by King Henry V
They should not be underestimated!
Of Course, they could not have invaded Britain because of a very weak Navy.
Re: Central European Monarchy
If it hadn't had been for the Poles under Jan Sobieski at the siege of Vienna in 1688, who knows what may have happened. The true strength of the Hapsburgs was their ability to make advantageous marriages. As for the Italians, well the least said about their army the better...
