Torturing myself to save Mussolini in Black Ice... 

When did he fail?

What did Mussolini so to you to deserve this?😂

As long as he stays away from the Congo 😬

All Belgium all the time

Why even bother asking it's obviously going to be yes

@@Bitt3rSteel I'm new, are you Belgian? I mean as if it isn't obvious enough, but I still can't be sure.

​​​@@winstonzhou4595 you mean he is southern Dutch😂😂😂

​@@Bitt3rSteel Finally, another belgium will be added to our collection of Belgiums from hoi 4 mods, brilliant

Despite the crazy -50% division attack and more debuffs in red flood, italy is actually VERY strong because of their ability to go to war with france early and their industry.

because it sucked irl

@@JustFloppa1410just like the kreigsmarine, Italy wasn’t ready for a war in 1940.

historical realism hours

@@Aaron067 historical realism would be ethiopia surrendering immediately and all of the ethiopians being grateful that they're no longer under a tyrant starving them to death. historical realism would be basically removing the entire ethiopian tree, and the opportunity for the allies to host the ethiopian government in exile. Realism went out the window when the sultanate of aussa, which literally did not exist, was added to the game. "OH! BUT THE WIKPEDIA PAGE EXISTS!" roll it back in time 10 years and you will quickly find that it was literally just part of ethiopia. paraslop once again manufactering and rewriting history to serve their own pro-african narrative.

I like history. I don't, however, like living through it.

Welcome to the ranks!

College did a video on successful black ice italy

Would love to see some magna europa challenges or autumn begonia !

Hey I was thinking the same thing!

He probably got confused because in the base game it's 15 factories max.

Syria Palestina ❌️ Judea ❌️ Italia ✅️

The first was a stream, this one is an edited play through.

Glad you like them!

Knowledge of these vast petroleum reserves would likely have made little to no difference to the course of the Second World War. Petroleum deposits in Libya require deep drilling. The state-owned oil company, AGIP, had far less experience in exploration and deep-drilling than more-established rivals like Shell or Standard Oil. Moreover, most of AGIP's activities in the Italian sphere of influence were focused more on Albania than Libya. There really is not much to fault the Italians for in their failure to find and develop Libyan oil fields. The colonial and central government did not simply ignore evidence of oil but instead did sponsor judicious geological explorations. It did not help matters that Libya's future oil fields were in areas that needed to first be pacified. This presented a very brief window for discovery, exploration, and then exploitation. The Italians managed to pass the first hurdle, but failed never quite reached the last two. In the end, the Italians needed both proper equipment and especially time to turn the colony into an oil exporter, and these were two items that were in short supply in 1938.

Absolutely!
