Please forgive my mistakes but this is all from memory at this point. Just looking for some feedback.

-Italy defeats Abyssinia 1896. (not sure how this might happen, never having read much about the war or if this is even possible - would hope it is but has been kicked around a bit over the past century)
-Italy never falls out with the League of Nations in 1935 for it's war against Abyssinia, sanctions are never imposed upon Italy, and Mussolini does not go to Germany in 1937. Mussolini still views Hitler as a [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]mad little clown. [/FONT]Italy does not attack France in 1940.
-France has five or so extra divisions they move from the the border with Italy but they are not motorized or very mobile and are moved up to the diel (sp?) line with everybody else and is cut off by the German Sichelschnitt.
-Weygland and Petain sue for peace in 1940 as IRL.
-Germany never has to support Italy with oil and other resources (I thought I remembered at least 20% of German oil going to Italy) .
-Germany never has to invade Greece, and chooses not to invade Yugoslavia while their at it. His para divisions are never decimated, he allows there usage in large scale drops in the future.
-Barbarossa is mover up 2-3 weeks but well after the mud has dried up. Germany loses 8 Italian divisions for Russia, but they had negligible combat value, and he gains the German element of the Africa Corps (2 motorized, 2 light arm divisions?) plus garrison forces left in Greece and Yugo. Barbarossa front also gains the air group that fought the British fleet in the Med so well.
-Britain is able to move elements to east Asia and delay the Japanese conquests, they still get kicked out however.
-Germany gets to Moscow 2-3 weeks earlier and is able to surround it before the Siberian divisions arrive. The Siberian divisions are unable to lift the siege. Germany completely cuts off the Leningrad. Both cities surrender in the spring 1942. SU Counterattacks with everything they have that spring, but most forces are cut off and crushed in much the same way as they were that spring IRL.
-Germany controls the caucuses by the late summer of 1942. Murmansk is threatened and lend lease supplies are reduced. Out of oil, with its industry coming within range of Germany's medium bomber force SU sues for peace.
-UK has come up through Persia and is beaten back. UK sues for peace in order to avoid losing the Suez and India.
-Germany has declared war on USA as IRL. The 8th moves to Africa after UK capitulates to fight on but fighter cover limits bombing raids largely to Vichy France. Much of the caucuses' oil comes online by 1943. The Luftwaffe only has to defend against daylight raids, moves almost all of it's fighter groups to France. 8th air force is decimated by 1943. USA largely gives up all aggressive action against Germany by late 1943. USA moves most of the Atlantic fleet to Pacific. The Pac war goes the same as IRL.
-USA public sees the European war as un-winnable, Dewey runs on the promise to sue for peace with Germany, FDR is forced to coop the position. By early 44 USA has sued for peace with Germany. Japan is defeated in 1945 as IRL.
