Let us say that in 1928 the people of the Tyrol had had it with being ruled by Italy and had openly rebelled. The people had smuggled in arms from Austria and Switzerland.
The Tyrolian people appealed to the people of Austria and Germany for help as well as to those of Switzerland and France. The French have no love for Mussolini and are willing to see the versailles agreement with regard to the Tyrol undone.
Austria and Germany send in Volunteers. The New government of Hindenburg uses this crisis to rally the nation and to restore the monarchy. When Italy moves troops to quell the upring Austria orders its army into action and Germany follows suit. Thus begins the next war.
