What if January 1924 Romania (within its January 1924 borders) is ISOT'd back in time to January 1914? Personally, I think that Romania would have a lot of success in warning Franz Ferdinand not to travel to Sarajevo in June of 1914. I also think that Austria-Hungary, especially Hungary, will be extremely upset by this development, as would Russia to a lesser extent, but also that A-H would not risk war over this if Romania will make it crystal-clear that it will ask Russia, France, Serbia, and Britain for military assistance (up to the point of giving Bessarabia back to Russia) in order to protect themselves from an A-H attack if necessary. Thus, I think that relations between A-H and Romania are going to be tense but not up to the point of war. Romania is also likely to get much less bad press since its restrictions on its Jews from 1914 would have already been removed by 1924. Romania is likely to become a much more loyal and reliable German and A-H ally in this TL since its territorial claims would have already been fully satisfied; hence there is no need for Romania to switch sides to the Entente in this TL. I could also see Romania and A-H organizing a population exchange to get a lot of Romania's Hungarians out of Romania and into Hungary, though this might also be risky since this would mean that Hungary might be permanently giving up its claim to territories such as Transylvania.
Anyway, what do you think?
