I feel sorry for Österreich.
How can commonwealth let this happen?
What about the balance of Europe?
Must russia be a monster alongside with prussia?

Remember that the Commonwealth is against the Austrian Empire!
Well, perhaps the British and the Irish will think less of their decisions in the coming years when I have to go up against an uber-Prussia and uber-Russia...
Chapter Thirty Seven
Connolly's Third Term, Part Three, 1919
By July, a miracle breakthrough under the Austrian commander Count Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf, freshly in from the Balkans, lead a miracle charge through Sankt Polten, Linz and into Budejovice. However, his rear guard was annihilated at the battle of Hollanbrunn so when von Hötzendorf went to flex his muscle into Czechia, he was suddenly nearly encircled by the Prussians.Connolly's Third Term, Part Three, 1919
However, with the Battle of Linz an almost certain failure, an even encircled von Hötzendorf refused to give up, holding out and sucking up Prussian resources for an amazing three months. However, his exhausted, morale-depleted soldiers mutinied on October 1, 1919 and killed von Hötzendorf. The next day, they surrendered. The Austrian Empire was crushed. A hurriedly dashed of treaty on the battlefield by Col. Karl Renner effectively destroyed the Habsburg Empire, though she would remain intact for a further three years.
On October 10, a humiliated Emperor Carol officially signed the treaty at Frankfurt-am-Main.
However, the struggles the Austrians had to endure were no less great than the Turks, who had been ravaged and insulted by the Austrians during their occupation. The Turkish Sultan Mehmed VI had shown his incompetence, and the Balkans were a cesspool of revolt, with the idea of a united Slavic people, of a 'Yugo-Slavic' nation, holding strong in the minds of the People. Meanwhile, several revolts sprang up in the Eastern part of the Empire, with the Arab Hordes planning to step onto the world stage as separate states from the Ottoman Empire.
The Russians were a great victor in the war, gaining land and prestige for their nation. However, the Eastern War exposed many falsities in the Russian way of thinking, that mass infantry assaults would always work. This caused massive loss of life on all sides, and only angered the Russian people. Nicholas II sat triumphant on his throne, unaware of the right-wing and left-wing revolutions that were boiling just below the surface.
The only nation to really come out of the war untouched was Prussia, who with the absolute humiliation of the Austrian Empire done and over with, there had been revival of the old united Germany dream, which some charismatic leaders were touting. One such man was the young governor of Bavaria, Adolph Hitler.
***NEXT UPDATE TO BE THE FINAL UPDATE, SO GET READY FOR THE CELEBRATION!!!***

My Hitler???
Yup, it's going into HoI2!
You had to make him someone didn't you? I mean why the hell Hitler is alive? With everything that happened he shouldn't even be born. That's what i meant when i said " You and your Hitler" so please don't kill me. Unless Hitler in this alternative universe is a communist which is OK with me.
Well, all that shall be attended to in the last update, but more likely in the first chapters of the HoI2 AAR, which shall cover 1920-1936.

Thanks, Madmonkey24!
Nasty nasty borders! Urrg! But nice nice victory! Lets hope the giants of Russia and the Ottomans don't now collapse and cause a massive vaccum for power that anyone, and I'm thinking the Prussians mostly, could exploit!
Could you expect differently from the ai?
Well, it appears that both are teetering on the brink of something, and maybe, just maybe, something exciting will happen...
Or not, I refuse to say so!

Thank you so much, it's an honor to have you reading this AAR! 
So, is an Austrian civil war between Renner and Hitler under way?
Excellent update, hopefully you'll continue from "ordinary" HoI2 through a Cold War mod and onto MDS

Not necessarily, Hitler is the govenor of Bavaria, and Renner is doing his backroom ower-dealings in Austria, so no civil war. Thanks, and we'll see about the Cold War and MDs when we get to it!
