The map above shows Austria in Gray, yes a bit bigger but this is a map from around 1918. Transylvania borders Romania, and At certain points, Germany and Russia. ( Before 1918, the Ukraine was a part of Russia and Poland was divided between Imperial Germany and Russia, Transylvania was a part of the dual Monarchy.)

I wonder though one thing, Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria and Hungary was more liberal than his father and would have ruled Austria had he not committed suicide before his father's death. Here is an interesting link between the Crown Princess of Austria, Stephanie, and Queen Marie of Romania, they were cousins.

It is true that Queen Marie lobbied unofficially in Paris on behalf of Romania, after the First World War. Queen Marie is one of the most fascinating royals, and there are quite a few books about her, including one I wrote entitled: "Her Eternal Crown: Queen Marie of Romania and the Baha'i Faith," if you are interested in finding out more about her, Romania, Transylvania, and her role at the Paris Peace Talks.
Della, you do realize this mean I'm going to be out and buying this book!
It is interesting about all the people linked together
