Simple question: what if Mussolini joined WW2 straight away in September '39? According to a biography of Mussolini that I read Egypt was practically undefended at the time and even the incompetent Italian army should have been able to make serious inroads, especially given British commitments elsewhere in Europe. Similarly, Malta was barely defended at the time and the Italians should have been able to take it, even without German assistance IMHO. So what if the Italians joined WW2 immediately in September 1939.
