A much quieter world. Germany remains a neutral country, fully debellated and without an army, with some limited, sparse (non-territorial; no more "zones of occupation", but shared "defense"/control burden) military presence from all WWII victors, "just in case". Its governments will very likely...

To go where? Into that overcrowded mouse trap that is Britain?

No system can last forever, not ever our current one, but if feudalism survived a millennium and North Korea is still there, everything is possible.

To this da. Nazi Germany wouldn't fall like the USSR.

By chance, I had JUST read (in depth, in a few days) on Academia.edu a graduation work in Italian EXACTLY on the subject of Genoese political and military organization in Corsica in those same years, so the names of Spinola, Giustiniani, Mambilla, Rivarola, Giafferi etc were fresh and familiar...

Your timelines are PURE GOLD.

Easy prophecy: the military overthrows Hitler, Nazism goes down with a whimper and Germany turns ally to "participate" in the annihilation of the USSR.

That says even more about the approach of the Czech government to restoration and preservation of its considerable treasures of art... In Milan, without Communists but with auir clinging to the soil particulary in winter because of the closed basin geography (just as in Bohemia), the Duomo was...

If Nazis and Soviets had joined forces, nothing short of the atomic bomb would have stopped them from dominating Eurasia from Korea to Gibraltar. And even that could amount to "too little, too late" unless sustained in a prolonged, systematic genocidal annihilation campaign.

Mussolini, Balbo and De Gasperi were Northerners through and through. Heck, de Gasperi was technically Austrian-born!

It's not like Russia lost WWIII after attacking the rest of the world, I'd like to remind everyone. It's more on the lines of "the Soviet Union declined to participate further/retired due to old age and bad health". The West should be grateful to Mr Gorbachev, though I understand most Russians...

Wrong, they did evacuate both northern Iran and eastern Austria, plus Hango naval base in Finland, by their own will (though, in the former case, under the impression of American monopoly of the A-bomb). They weren't completely unreasonable. Nor bent on "world domination"; not with a country...

They'd rely more on colonial cannon fodder and send ahead the Americans first. France could sure keep on fighting throughout 1919, albeit exhausted and bled white. Interestingly, the really terrifying losses in the Great War were mostly those incurred in the very first weeks of moving fronts and...

Mussolini would die in his bed, saluted as a statesman by most conservatives on the planet (as he was for years in end OTL). Fascism would quietly transition into first limited, later "full" democracy - that is democracy in a country that has endured decades of suppression, without any justice...

With (massive, not piecemeal) German assistance, quite possibly. Without it, no way.

Air carriers would have been useful but not decisive for Italy. Much bettwr would have been a decent amount of cooperation between the Regia Marina and Regia Aeronautica, who were barely on speaking terms: respectively the most monarchist and the most Fascist of armed forces. The lack of...

Like heretics and rebel nobles, for example?

The Ostmen/Norse are going to fight bitterly around the issue if Christianization. I can't see heathenry being clearly defeated till about 1050. This factionalism would clearly have effects upon the Fanaithe-Brithon struggle in the mainland. Interesting times ahead for a while... The...
