Months after the end of the 'Austria under Rudolph I' fiasco, I decided to attempt to write a TL again. This one will be based on a much-discussed topic, which however has preciously little TL's written about it: A Central Power Italy.
Oh, certainly, we've seen enough timelines with Italy in the Central Powers. But we haven't seen the main POD realised yet (as far as I know), a POD in which Italy plays the main role, the old 'Germany persuades Austria to offer Italy more in 1915' scenario. This scenario will occur here.
I will not say that this TL will lack all ASB-ishness. Quite the contrary, lack of knowledge or just the awesomeness of the idea will make some presented things highly implausible. But it's not as bad as the previous TL. And at least it won't include a Sealion.
Finally, I should apologize to Onkel Willie for (attempting to) mimick his writing style. It's just a very good style which I myself like as well, so that's why I picked it. Besides, OW is my favourite author on this board.
And yes, the TL will include maps, many of them in fact, maybe even too many. The frequency of their updates and the TL updates is left in the dark for now because I don't know it either. It will certainly not be as frequent as OW's, at least. There's also that thing called school going on in my life, after all.
And now, without further delay, I present to you my TL! (Have fun reading)
