France Lets Italy have Tunsia

Part of the reason Italy joined the triple alliance, was because France took Tunisia despite Italy's desire to have her. Suppose France is more accommodating. Is this enough to prevent WWI? Presumably, without Italy as an ally, Germany will have a more timid policy or will become an ally with another country instead. What country would Germany likely ally with instead? Does Germany focus more on colonial expansion? With a weaker central European alliance, where else is there to turn?

First it's a thread for the before 900 forum; second, a France that found an agreement with Italy regarding Tunisia mean that Rome instead to sign with the Germany-Austria-Hungary alliance become more an ally of Paris, even a formal ally

How about a deal where France forfeits Tunisia in the early 1900's? Not sure what France would get in return other than a more peaceful Europe.

Italian Somalia and/or Eritrea. Would Italy accept that kind of swap? The reason the Gambia is not part of Senegal is because the French refused any offers by the British to swap another colony for it. It was a take it or leave it sort of deal so nothing ever came out of it.

An Italian Tunisia would make Libya less important so we might see it get partitioned between Italy and Egypt (Britain). Egypt would get Cyrenaica and Italy the rest.

Until the 1890s, Germany and Russia had a pact. Not an alliance, but still. But since you needed Bismarck to juggle treaties...

And Britain shouldn't be totally impossible. After all they had some grudges against Russia and France too. If Willy hadn't had his navy fetish...
