Sahel region - of which Darfur is part of, is overpopulated. The water conflicts were commonplace back when the region had only a fraction of the current population, now it got simply worse.

What plan can there be? The area is overpopulated, making competition for scarce resources that much worse (herders vs. farmers, muslims vs christians, blacks vs ''Arabs''...). To add complications, politicians there are almost universally corrupt as hell, so any aid is going to be squandered...

Impossible, WAllies would have crushed Italian communists and Tito would be unable to offer them sufficient support, just like in Greece. At most he could occupy Trieste and Gorizia, settle the escaping Italian communists ther as a sort of Italian autonomus region.

If Alexander II survives yet another attempt and continues with his reforms, this kind of development would be possible towards the end of the 19th century.

Did UK reintroduce conscription or are they still relying on volunteers?

Not to mention that France and UK were guaranteed to join the fray.

Soviet Union invades Iran and from there Iraq and India, hurting the British empire.

It was in a Tito biography I read some years ago. Luftwafe strength in Yugoslavia was constantly fluctuating, there were some transport/liason units and whatever bomber squadrons that could be spared from other fronts to support the operations. There was also NDH airforce that was a mixed bag...
