I'm almost done with a book about the WWI siege of Przemyśl and it often mentions the sheer incompetence of General Conrad, as well it should. That got me to thinking what if he dies long before the war, say in 1892 before he returns to a command position after a stint at the war college in Vienna?
Obviously, the United States of Greater Austria, which endures to this day as a land of peace and harmony united under the beloved dynasty.
kidding, kidding. One officer's death isn't going to magically solve all of Austria-Hungary's many, many problems. But what would the effects be of someone less criminally inept at the helm in the years leading up to WWI? Who are some likely candidates? What is the realistic best that could be expected from AH under this scenario?
