What IF
Italy starts the Forth Shore project in the late '20's instead of OTL's Mid 30's.
This butterflies into no Invasion of Ethiopia. Instead OTL's Ethiopian Resources, flow into Libya.
This leads to more Development in Libya than in OTL.
By 1935 the population of Libya reaches 2/3 Italian, and by 1940 3/4.
However a part of this is due to Italian Ruthlessness, with the Italians using the same tactics against the Libyans as the did OTL against the Ethiopians.
[Massive Ethnic Cleaning via Poison Gas on protesting Villages]
Due to this the British/French turn against Italy, and Italy joins the Axis-same as OTL.
Assume that North Africa/Italian Campaign goes close to OTL.
Minor changes on the Horn due to Ethiopia not in the war.
Eritrea doesn't get folded into Ethiopia. More Troops for Libyan Fighting. Etc.
But by late 42 ~early 43 Britain/Allies are in Control of A Libya that Has a 3/4 Italian population.
It is also More Developed than OTL.
?How does Britain treat Libya?
?What happens when Italy flips sides in 1944?
?What Happens Post War?
I knew that getting a 2/3 ~3/4 Itailian Libya is Slighty ASB, but that is the Scenario, Lets stick to the Post War in our answers. PLEASE
