As for Italy. The only reason Mussolini entered the war was watching his Facist subordinate (Hitler) taking over most of Europe so he jumped in so as not to be left behind even though he knew Italy was not prepared for a long drawn out war. So,,,,,I do not believe he would have jumped in just yet with hitler taking on 3 countries. He would have pulled a Franco and sat this one out.
Which leads to the bizarre situation that Mussolini could have stayed in power until the 1970s too?
