The main trend in European politics after ww1 was the decline of liberal political parties as they were squeezed from both the left (Social Democrats/Socialists) and the right (Conservatives). In some countries like Germany, it even happened long before 1914. France was the only country where this trend was slower (Radical party still won elections).
The challenge is to make liberal parties in Europe remain a strong force in governments. A harder task is to make the liberals become a natural party in at least one European country.
For me, the best starting point would definitely be Britain. But I think we can do so in Italy by having the ww1 less disastrous for them and a more favourable Treaty of Versailles.
Final question: What would be the potential economic and political consequences of a strong liberal presence in European politics?
