Mussolini dies or never declares war on france in 1940. Or Italy comes in on the Allies side. Will this help shorten the war or will it prolong it? What about the Italian Navy:confused:
 
I remember reading, I believe in Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, that Italy's declaration of war was terrible for the Nazi's because it cut off one of their last trading partners and diverted a lot of troops from the Eastern Front to places like N. Africa and the Balkans.
