    Interesting point. The west basically “divided and conquered” Eastern Europe. Turning multi ethnic states such as the USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia into tribal states again meanwhile other recently created multi tribal nations such as the UK, France Germany Spain Italy etc remain intact.

    Most Kosovars want to join Albania and most Albanians want to annex Kosovo. The reason it's not happening is because then it would make Kosovo's separation from Serbia look like an act of aggression from Albania and more of a Greater Albania movement rather than a Kosovo independence movement. The international community and obviously Serbia wouldn't take it well. They both know this and are content with the status quo so aren't pushing for a merger.

    Same. But only if Franconia & Swabia are excluded from it, and the country is renamed 'Bavaria' (Baiern) since that's the historic name of their united region. Austria is called "Eastern Realm" because it's a breakaway east Bavarian state and their current name isn't suitable for a country as their current name is a purely geographic term (like Bosnia) and doesn't have anything to do with their tribal origins.

    By the way, there was a referendum in the mid-1900s in Vorarlberg (Alemannic part of Austria) to join Switzerland (Alemannic-majority country) that successfully passed, but due to opposition from non-Alemannic Swiss people and Austria, it didn't materialize.

    The reason why the Dutch didn't become part of Germany despite being as close to Germans as separate German subgroups are to each other is because they had their own church (Calvinism) and standardized their language which was promoted as a liturgical language and these factors helped them develop a separate identity.

    There is one gigantic difference - smaller ethnic groups that make Germans feel/identify as German.

    The reason why Austria remained intact separate from other Germanic states is because their ruling monarchy, the Hapsburgs, were wealthier than the others so they said duck you

    Austria was actually expelled from German unification after defeat in war against Prussians (who went to become dominant German subgroup in newly created state).

    Probably had more to do with jealousy. Vienna was the cultural capital of Europe. Why would they exclude that?
