In OTL Mussolini attacked Greece in 28 October 1940 hoping for an easy campaign to impress Hitler but he was deceived... He met with heavy resistanse and Italian attacks were repulsed... It was only 6 months later that he had to appeal to Hitler to come and clean up the mess he created...
WI Mussolini never took Ciano's advise to attack Greece?
Greece had declared its neutrality and PM Metaxas wasnt allowing any British to enter Greek territory because he was afraid that this might have provoked Hitler's wrath... However a rumour circulates till today that Metaxas was poisoned by British agents in 29 January 1941 so that his successor allow British troops to station in Greece...
How would WWII would evolve if no Italian and German forces were engaged in Greece? Any thoughts?
