A Habsburg succession opens a remote possibility of Mexico joining an alliance with Italy, Austria-Hungary and Germany. Familial ties would not necessarily decide its behavior when war began. The suggested outcome is initial neutrality followed by possible entry on the Allied side, using Italy as the comparison. This remains an extension of the alternate history, with no automatic line from victory in the 1860s to a particular wartime alignment.
