Enter in play: end of the Events phase, from ‘January–February 1916’ (turn 15) to the end of the war. Option #1: (historical choice) Franz Joseph dies – Austria wraps herself in deep mourning for the death of her emperor, losing 3 NW points. Notes: once successfully in play, the event is discarded and cannot occur again. Reformation of the Austrian Empire Description: This event will bring in play an attempt of reformation of the Austrian monarchy. Hungary is profoundly hostile to the idea, and this endeavor could cause a major crisis and the end of the monarchy. On the other hand, if successful, benefits for the Austrian monarchy could be enormous! Historical notes: Recognizing the growing pressures of nationalism among the many ethnic groups within Austria-Hungary, Karl intended to stabilize the empire by replacing Austro-Hungarian dualism with a Triple Monarchy in which the empire’s Slavs would be given an equal voice in government. While such radical reforms might have saved the empire, Hungary and those with vested interests in the existing structure were profoundly hostile to the idea. Serbian nationalists saw the move as a threat to their desired secession and the formation of a greater Serbia. Wary of creating unrest, Karl delayed his plans for reformation. Conditions: the event “Death of Emperor Franz Joseph” has successfully occurred. Difficulty: automatic. Enter in play: end of the Events phase, from ‘March–April 1916’ (turn 16) to the end of the war, provided the condition is met. Option #1: Introduce the Triple Monarchy reformation – The new emperor, Charles, favors the reforming of the Dual Monarchy into a Triple Monarchy, by uniting the Slavs. Hungary is profoundly hostile to the whole idea, and this endeavor could cause a major crisis and the end of the monarchy. On the other hand, if successful, benefits for the Austrian monarchy could be enormous! Option #2: (historical choice) Delay the reformation – The Austrian Monarchy reformation is delayed to the future. Notes: once successfully in play, the event is discarded and cannot occur again. Triple Monarchy successfully introduced in the Austrian Empire Description: This event will make the reformation of the Austrian empire successful, and all the positive effects so generated. Slavic desertions will cease, Czech and Slavic will not suffer anymore from morale test penalty, while Hungarian troops will suffer from such a morale penalty for one year. In addition, beware that a major Hungarian crisis could bring soon to a collapse of the monarchy in the imminent future! Historical notes: Recognizing the growing pressures of nationalism among the many ethnic groups within Austria-Hungary, Karl intended to stabilize the empire by replacing Austro-Hungarian dualism with a Triple Monarchy in which the empire's Slavs would be given an equal voice in government. While such radical reforms might have saved the empire, Hungary and those with vested interests in the existing structure were profoundly hostile to the idea. Serbian nationalists saw the move as a threat to their desired secession and the formation of a greater Serbia.

Slavic desertions cease, Czech and Slavs will no longer suffer from a morale test penalty, while Hungarian troops will suffer from such a morale penalty for one year. In addition, beware that a major Hungarian crisis could soon bring about the collapse of the monarchy! Notes: once successfully in play, the event is discarded and cannot occur again. Failed reformation of the Austrian Empire Description: This event will make the reformation of the Austrian empire failed. Historical notes: Recognizing the growing pressures of nationalism among the many ethnic groups within Austria-Hungary, Karl intended to stabilize the empire by replacing Austro-Hungarian dualism with a Triple Monarchy in which the empire’s Slavs would be given an equal voice in government. While such radical reforms might have saved the empire, Hungary and those with vested interests in the existing structure were profoundly hostile to the idea. Serbian nationalists saw the move as a threat to their desired secession and the formation of a greater Serbia. Ignoring pleas for caution from his advisors Karl attempted to initiate his reforms, sparking violent ethnic rebellion and Hungarian unrest. To resolve the crisis Karl was forced into a humiliating reverse, weakening his monarchy. Conditions: the event “Reformation of the Austrian Empire” has successfully occurred and Austria-Hungary decided to introduce the Triple World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918 163
