IOTL, the Reich's victory in Europe and subsequent domination of the continent (including the subsumation of the Italian Empire) allowed it to initiate the Atlantropa project, which partially drained the mediterranean and created millions of sq miles of habitable land.

Had the Allies somehow defeated the German Reich during WW2, would they attempt something similar? The British Empire before the war controlled Gibraltar and Egypt, a bunch of smaller islands, and they would've probably turned Spain and Italy at least into protectorates (an European continent enslaved to British imperial ambitions, scary stuff), and together with France they controlled a vast majority of the mediterranean. But I think they needed the Mediterranean to get to their colonies...

So what do you think?
