Bigger Italian Colonial Empire

This is the Sticking point.
[snip]

The allies would NOT recognise the Bonaparte's thrones. OTL they kept it as divided as possible, and they wouldnt change that for anything. They wanted to go back to how Europe was pre-1789 as much a poss so they wouldnt ever even think of that. Especially with a BONAPARTE on the throne.

1912
Taking advantage of the Balkan war, Italy moves to secure it's hold on Ottoman Libya.

Tunisia, Libya, Italian Oriental Africa [Etruria, Ethiopia, Somalia], & Hainan.

Secure it's hold in what way? And Orientale in Africa Orientale Italiana is a fancy way of saying east (normally its est). Like A. Settentrionale I. (libya) instead of Nord. Sorry to nitpick :).

A little comment, if Italy got united so early in this TL, why did it only get those colonies?

While I agree with you that this scenario is implausible and Italy would be broken up, the Allies were not as averse to keeping Napoleon's men around as you think. The Austrians signed a treaty with Murat for military reasons and to consolidate their grip on the north, and this meant disregarding the legitimate claim of the Bourbon on Sicily. Murat lost his throne by siding with Napoleon during the Hundred Days, as he believed it was the only way he would evade being kicked of by Britain and a Bourbon France in the long run.
 
Well I'm looking forward to it. I've never seen a Italy-wank. Though I have thought a Papal States or Venice-wank would be down right awesome.!:D


Hehe, if you want a Papal-wank, go read the Medieval Total War forums, some people will write stories (akin to alternate histories) for their medieval campaigns, and I have had a few where the Papacy are just downright nasty myself (and I'm talking like real Holy Roman Empire from Crusader states to unification of Italy/Germany and then some).
