In OTL, the Bienno Rosso (Two Red Years) was a short period of intense political and social unrest in Italy in which the left and right clashed all over the north and center of the peninsula. This led to sharp repression of the revolutionary left and the rise of the Blackshirt fascists and ultimately to their March on Rome in 1922
So, what if instead the Kingdom of Italy collapsed during the “Bienno Rosso” and the industrial cities of the north erupted into armed insurrection against the Kingdom and the fascists? Do they have a chance of success? What would the political scene of Italy look like during and after this civil war?
Another interesting question to this is what if the March on Rome failed and Italy erupted into a civil war similar to the Spanish Civil War in which Republicans and a broad left coalition clashed with the King and Mussolini.
