Before you can understand what my scenario is about you need to know some backround information on
Hungary. First of all, this war never did happen, but it did come close. History for the U.S.
wouldn't change very much if this war happened, but it would for the nations within the 
Carpathian Basin.

*Note* Many times you see the word "Magyar" or "Magyarország". The ethnic group the resides in 
Hungary are Magyars. However, stupid people came up with the term "Hungarians" because they 
thought Huns and Magyars were the same. They were very similar but not the same. People who live
in Hungary call themselves Magyars and their nation Magyarország. In my scenario, I use the term
"Hungary" for international affairs and "Magyar" for nation affairs. In this document I use
Hungary.

This war starts on March of 1867 but it's beginning starts a couple centuries earlier.

The Ottomans:
	At the Battle of Mohács in 1526, King Louis II of Hungary was defeated and killed by the
Turkish invaders. Without help from the rest of Europe, the Hungarian army was outnumbered by a 
landslide and ended up losing. Within a half a century later, Austria with help from the Holy 
Roman Empire and Hungarian mercenaries were able to drive the Ottoman Empire away from Hungary.
But now Hungary was a territory of a new Austrian Empire. Hungary didn't become it's own nation
until their defeat in WWI.

The Austrians:
	The Hungarians are a proud people who once had a vast kingdom. They had once owned the vast
majority of the Carpathian Basin. But now they were subject to the Tyranical Austrian rule.
Something had to be done. In 1848, a revolution was organized by Lajos Kossuth. The war was going
good until Russia stepped in. Austria would have lost if Russia hadn't marched along with their
army. The Austrians began their executions and punishments on people who had participated in the
revolution. This stirred up Hungarian hatred towards the Austrians more than ever. Kossuth 
and a number of other high-ranking officials were forced into exile to escape torture. Among these
leaders was Gyula Andrássy, who was a Hussar general during the revolution.

The French:
	In 1860, a war sprung out between France and Austria. France wanted to unify Italy but
needed help. Kossuth had reached an agreement with Napolean III the following year that a Hungarian
army was to be raised to help France, then with victory at hand an uprising will spring once again
in Hungary. With a French victory in Italy, they would march into Hungary and fight the Austrians.
So the Hungarian Legion was created and hopes were high. They fought bravely in the Neapolitan
area and helped capture Naples and Palemro. About a year later, Cavour who was the French
premier who was in charge of Italian operations, died. The war stop and France didn't unify Italy,
and the Hungarian Legion was disbanded.

How History Happened:
	In 1866 Prussia defeated the Austrians in Bismark's unification of Germany. Austria was at
her knees a Kossuth wanted to take advantage of the situation. Austria knew that now Hungary could
revolt and become an independent nation. But many Hungarians did not want this. Hungary could 
easily be conquered by a German or Russian invaders. Hungarians would rather be ruled by Austrians
than Germans or Russians. Austria knew they could do nothing ifHungary want to seperate.
 Austria also knew if they lost Hungary, they could easily be swallowed by Germany.
So a compromise was made. "The Austrian Empire" would be transformed into the "Austrian-Hungarian
Empire". Absolutism would vanish and Dualism would take its place. Two governments were
established. One in Vienna and one in Budapest. They both would have equal say over national and
international matters. Count Andrássy was appointed head of the Hungarian government.
	Kossuth was not impressed and warned that Hungary was signed it's death. In the end he was
right. Because Austria had accepted to become members of the German alliance (Triple Alliance)
they ended up losing in WWI and to make sure Europe would never be challenged again from Austria or
Hungary, they divided the land up into many countries, each that would have to be bigger than 
Hungary and Austria so they could hold their own. Many Magyars lived in these regions and objected
(especialy in the Transalvynia area which became part of Romania) but what could they do.
	
How It Happens Now:
	Say Hungary listend to Kossuth's warnings. In my scenario, Andrássy was a plan up his
sleeve. It has been a month since the compromise was signed. In this month secret resistance groups
have been formend in Hungary. Austria's guard is down and they won't be ready for what happens next.
In March, Hungary declared themselves as a seperate state and said they were ready for war.
Austria is stunned and knows that they cannot lose Hungary, no matter what the cost. This time they
don't have help from other nations. Everyone watches as these two struggling nations try desperately
to gain the upper-hand. Austria has a slightly stronger military, but Kossuth is out gaining all the
support he can get for Hungary. He is also reassembling the Hungarian Legion...
