So I've always been wondering what the state of Turkey would be after an Axis victory. Mussolini who wants to restore the Roman empire would need Constantinople to be legitimate. He has Rome, so if he gets Constantinople, and his Mediterranean empire would be closer to reality. But this could lead to a problem with Hitler and Germany. An Italian Constantinople means complete Italian domination in the Black sea with the control of the Dardanelles.
I think Hitler's opinion on Turkey would be pretty good. Turkey helped the Germans in ww1, and Ataturk did what Germany wasn't able to do, reform, and beat the allies in the Turkish war for independence, and there were headlines of Ataturk beating the allies. I think Hitler would want to strive to be the Ataturk of Germany.
So what would happen to Turkey after ww2? Would Italy try to invade it? Would Germany get involved, and possibly lead to a Nazi-Roman war? Would Hitler try to start a coup, and stop Republican ideologies, and restore the Ottoman empire, and become allies? Or would Hitler view them as inferior and do away with the Turks.
