Had the plan been brought to fruition, the Habsburgs would have augmented their core domains with a large contiguous German-speaking territory while at the same time getting rid of far-away provinces that has proven to be difficult and costly to defend whenever Austria had been at war with France and/or Prussia.
Oleks plaan vilja kandnud, oleksid Habsburgid kasvatanud oma tuumikvaldusi suure külgneva saksakeelse territooriumiga, vabanedes samal ajal kaugetest provintsidest, mida oleks olnud keerukas ja kulukas kaitsta, kui Austria oleks sattunud sõtta Prantsusmaa ja/või Preisimaaga.
