Not just during WW2, but before that, as well.
Why was Italy so incompetent militarily, and how can this be solved?
Let's say they are competent enough and don't fail to conquer Ethiopia in the 1890's as happened IOTL. What are the effects of competent Italian armed forces in WW1? And this is even more relevant in WW2.
How can you make Italy be not-competent, and how would this affect the Italian colonial empire, Mussolini's empire and the European balance of power?
