WW I CP Victory: Italo-Abyssinian War ?

First of all, would Mussolini gain power and be dictator in a CP victory ?
And would Italy try to anney Abyssina or its former colonies ( i assume Italy would loose the colonies its colonies when they loose WWI

Italy might not enter the war at all or join the Central Powers if it looks like the Entente is loosing.
 
However, given that Italy entered in 1915, it's possible that she might join and yet the result still be a CP late victory. However, in this case, I think it would be difficult for the CP to press hard terms on Italy, given that the focus would be on France and Russia, and Austria-Hungary, the primary beneficiary, would be on the verge of collapse. At best for Italy, expect a white peace. At worst, some reparations, a minor adjustment of the border in favor of Austria-Hungary, some military limitations. Austria-Hungary won't be much in a position to enforce the last, however, and Germany really lacks the interest.
 
yes ok. But i mean if the CP win would Mussolini come at power in Italy or not ?? Also italy loses all her colonies in my timeline, so would it try to get them back under Mussolinis reign ?
 
yes he probably still would, he came up with fascism after watching his platoon get their asses kicked in wwi. So a CP victory makes it even more likely I think.
