Hey Guys,

When discussing an 'Italian Tunisia' on this site some people often say that, with their colonial appetites appeased by annexing Tunisia the Italians wouldn't feel the need to attack the Ottoman Empire for Libya, nor would they take the colonies of Eritrea and Somaliland in East Africa.

My question is do you think they would indeed leave these areas alone, or might we see Italy still go for them. Obviously the East African ones were taken peacefully and so may still be snatched up by Italy, but what of Libya?

Would Italy still go to war with the Ottomans? I doubt it personally and so what would happen to Libya? Would it stay Turkish?

EDIT: For the sake of the argument let's just say that the British ambassador in the Berlin Conference supports an Italian Tunisia over a French Tunisia, a mild crisis sparks up but it ends peacefully with the French withdrawing and grumbling.
