I was just thinking today about what would happen to Italy had it gone in on the side of the Central Powers, but the United States still entered as an ally.
My assumption is that we still see an entente victory, but what is the nature of this victory, what are the peace terms on the Central Powers, and does Italy entering really affect the outcome even if the US is there too?
I can see France struggling to remain vigilent in this war with two fronts (given that France is the only place Italy can really invade in a hurry), but when it comes down to it can the allies still dictate the treaty terms or will there need to be compromise? Would Italy be stripped of colonies?
The post-war treaties are what I'm most curious about (for the sake of mapmaking).
