Italy Expanding Without Anglo-Franc Armed Conflict

[Giysqun Wilde]

Excluding war with France or Britain, what areas could the Italian Empire expand into, either in the way of protectorate, annexation, or just have a treatyport, military base, or economic area of influence in? Yemen, Negj, Antartica, puppets in China, Yugoslavia, Balerics... All details on their plans or suggestions of you how they could create it would be welcome, as would details on where their Royal Family could marry into.

Hmm, tricky. They might end up with Tunisia, if they support France in a major war at some point. They might also be able to solidify control over Ethiopia and start sending settlers to live in the region, although it would likely be an unsuccessful venture. If they ended up in some sort of broader Fascist coalition, they could take bits and pieces of Portuguese Africa (maybe Mozambique?) or maybe East Timor in exchange for helping suppress rebellion throughout the Empire?

Interesting, Mozambique could have possibilities, though probably just the less profitable parts. Any chance that Britain would give up part of the Mandate of Tangkykia for any reason?
