(This is not based on any known historic plot coming off, the PoD is just him getting assassinated by an anarchist or lone nut with a gun or bomb at this time).
How does the political regime in Italy evolve from there?
How does Italian foreign policy evolve over the next ten years.
How likely are things like the Abyssinian invasion, intervention in Spanish Civil War and occupation of Albania in the post-Mussolini TL?
How does the relationship with Nazi Germany evolve in particular. Is Austro-German Anschluss likely to happen, earlier, later, not at all, or at the same time as OTL?
A poll is added specifically on the Anschluss question.
Among other things, I'm trying to kick the tires and explore the mechanisms by which Italy moved from opposition to Anschluss to acceptance of Anschluss. Is the change simply accounted for by Italy's relative strength in 1934 and the progress of Germany's strengthening by 1938? Is it simply accounted for by a souring of Mussolini's relations with France and Britain, changing his perspective on how to deal with Germany? Something else?
