Italy would carry on -- it's a gorgeous country, especially toscana or umbria, lovely!

They'd just go back to the Lira -- molto facile :-P

they changed because they never really felt like being one with the Germans -- temperamentally they never got on with the Germans

William Shirer described it perfectly when he pointed out that for the Italians in WWII, they couldn't have chosen people they hated less --> the upper class in italy were anglophiles and the lower classes loved America

They only had some mild distaste for the French, but once they got back Nice and the other southern parts that were taken from then in 1870, they didn't really want to invade anyone else

In fact just in WWI they got back the Trentino region.

Nah, the Italians didn't fight because they didn't hate us or the English, they didn't even dislike us
