Description
This map is about an alternative Central Europe in 1913. It's based on a revolution breaking out in 1910 in German and Austro-Hungarian Empires. In addition, a new Polish Uprising takes place in Russian Poland. Monarchies are abolished in German and Austro-Hungarian Empires and, provisionally, those countries are renamed as United States of Germany and United States of Austria and Hungary. However, it's established that every state and Prussian province in Germany and every land in Austria-Hungary has the right to self-determination. So, Prussian province of Posen and Galicia and Lodomeria approve secession and help Polish rebels. Finally, after two years of war, Poland becomes a new independent country named as Republic of Poland, including old Congress Poland, Posen and Galicia and Lodomeria.In the other hand, many other lands declare independence from United States of Austria and Hungary: Bohemia, Moravia, Austrian Silesia, Bukovina, Austrian Littoral, Carniola, Dalmatia, Croatia-Slavonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Fiume and Hungary itself. Bohemia and Moravia come together to establish the new Czech Republic, Austrian Silesia becomes the new Republic of Troppau/Opawa/Opava, Austrian Littoral becomes the new Republic of Istria and Fiume becomes one with it, Carniola becomes the new Republic of Slovenia and Croatia-Slavonia and Dalmatia come together to establish the new Republic of Croatia. Resting lands of United States of Austria ("and Hungary" had been deleted from the name) approves the incorporation to United States of Germany. Finally, Germany is restructured becoming an unitary state composed of departments, just like France. It is renamed Republik Deutschland (Republic of Germany).

By the way, could you try to make a Map of Germany (or of Europe) where the plot of July 20 (or July 15) was successful and Hitler would have been killed?I already did that map:

Why would Austrian Silesia become independent? o_O

Well, there were Germans, Poles and Czech people in 1910 but none of them were more than 50%. I guess Gemans and Poles would be against annexation to Czech Republic, Germans and Czech people would be against annexation to Poland, and Czech people and Poles would be against annexation to Germany. So independence would be the Solomon-like decision. The same thing about Republic of Istria...

Well in the whole thing they didn't have a majority but in regions they did. That's why it was divided after WWI with eastern Teschen going to Poland

I understand but map is based on the idea of "what if there had not been border changes but each state and land of both empires had had right to self-determination?" I think result had been what you can see in the map.

I'm not so sure about that, while the northern segment of Austrian Silesia was predominantly German, Teschen was predominantly Polish and Czech. The Germans formed some 45%, the Poles 30% and Czechs 25% meaning you'd perhaps be likelier to achieve an annexation by Germany than for independence. If a plebiscite was held purely on a first past the post system, Germany would definitely win (some of the Czechs and Poles might also vote for it on an economic bases, such cases weren't at all rare in the post WWI plebiscites). But if a 51% majority was required, the most likely option would be that they simply would not be able to come to an agreement and the decision would be left up to an Entatne decision.
