    This is like doctor doofenschmirtz actually taking over the world and stopping Perry
  • @Ollidol
    I realy apreciate not just sticking with the "HA HA Italy bad" meme but actualy pointing out that they were simply not ready for a war when they were draged into it.
  • @YannaTarassi
    Austria calls for aid! ...and Italy shall answer! Wait, really?!? Shockingly, yes.
  • What if japan didn't attack the USA and focus on helping on operation barbarossa from the other side
  • There are more focuses to help pacify Ethiopia, like "topple Amhara rulers"

    18:20 When he said "if you want to see what would happen, like this video", the like counter went up while I was watching it. Timing.
  • What If the German officers had opposed the funny mustache man? (Like would they really bring back the democracy or return the Kaiser or even keep the power for themselves)
  • Whaf if King Gustav V of Sweden decided to make Sweden an absolute monarchy again, all because he wanted to return Sweden to the good old days of the reign of Charles XII at the start of the 18th century?
  • @hay4664
    It might be hard but 'What if Spain never had a civil war.'
  • @tobias5504
    What if Austria Refused the german ultimatum and joined the Allies
  • @kimchi2780
    All I know is that in any playthrough where I reenact the Rome Protocols, Germany can't even get through France.
  • @tobias5504
    What if Mexico joined the Axis at the start of the war in Europe.
  • @nikolozgilles
    Alternate history: Operation Unthinkable, aka an Allies-Comintern war after WW2
  • @TheArklyte
    Aka Italy abuses alliance with Germany to get its demands and then DOESN'T join the war until 1944 and even then only on Allied side? Because that's what a competent choice on italian part would be.
  • @Stakuyi I have a new one for you: What if Finland joined the Allies instead of doing the Continuation War? (Winter War will still occur)
  • @visyxl
    Ah yes, a question i always wondered
  • @MWSin1
    Mussolini: Me fail military? That's unpossible.
