Instead of doing Operation Barbarossa, what if Hitler instead decides to focus on invading North Africa and working with Italy. In this scenario, Hitler would try to seize Egypt and the Middle East to cut off the British in the Mediterranean and seize vital oil supplies. Without invading the USSR, can Hitler pull this off with Mussolini?
Would Spain be willing to let Axis troops through to Morocco? Would Turkey have to be invaded (or allow Axis troops through)? How successful will it be? And does this guarantee long-term victory or does this only delay the inevitable? How will the USSR react? How would the people in the Middle East and North Africa react to this? Does this save Italy's East African colonies from British annexation?
EDIT: Italy NOT Greece, it was an error
