What if the oil in Libya was found 20 years earlier? It could have been discovered and produced with the technology of the time. From what I read no one was looking for it. By 1938 it was in production. The Pact of Steel now has a reliable oil source. Would Italy go to war and risk their oil fields or would they be more embodened because of their oil? How much better could the Germans be with oil?
