WWI goes badly for the Antante, it could be a draw, but moraly and economically it feels as a defeat
France even looses some territory, probbably in the alzase-loraine region, althou these are minor loses of border towns and vilages, in last minute compromises, but are inflated by the press
Austria still holds a small part of trentino/sudtirol and venezia guilia, making Italy fanatically anti-austrian
olnly Britain comes out of it in one piece, more or less, althou it gives over parts of some minor colonies in Africa, but nider Germany nor
A-H have much use of them
Italy becomes fashist as in OTL
France is in political turmoil after what is seen as an outrage and a national shame, mainly the loss of territory, but in general the loosing of the war
this is popularily blamed on corupt politicall top, greedy capitalist industrialists, cowardly bankers, there are conspiracy theories in the air, the "protocols" are mentioned, all that stuff
by 1923/24 (or sooner) France is on the brink of revolution, and, just as in Italy, in the chaos, armed militias intrveene, formed around nationalist and reactionary parties, helped out by Italy they folow Mussolinis model and install a nationalist/fashist party in Paris
the spanish civil war happens as in OTL but ends sooner with Italian and French intervention
the three states form an aliance, France and Italy becouse of their comon enemies, A-H and Germany, Spain is more or less pushed into it by political preasure, and for not loosing its neighbours support during the war
this fashist aliance starts a rapid military buildup, reciprocated in A-H and Germany, (A-H controls huge coal and iron mines in Eastern europe, as well as mines in puppet kingdoms of Ukraine and Belorusia, and huge Industrial complexes in Czekoslovakia and Hungary, with a huge but unstabile population that is barely cept in line by a monolithic police-and-propaganda machine, Germany is not doing so well, it is still under militarist rule, and invests as much as it can in the military, but is going trough a recesion, similar to OTL France, ridden with unimployment and coruption scandals)
Ottomans sell them all oil, and are payd ider in gold and goods or arms and equipment
Britain gets a cut for aloving the use of international waters, as it is the olnly true naval power on the globe
Both stay relatively neutral
by 1940 all is set for another major landwar in Europe
i have no idea where to go with this next, who attacks who first and under what pretext, how does A-H keep itself together...
