The end all be all of it is that an embargo by The United States would not slow my war machine
All powers without the oil production necessary to fund the war machine. Also yea alt history, but the point of convergence is 1912, and you did not establish in your app you somehow got lucky discovering oil in Libya. the reason it took till 1950s is because no one had a reason to look there.
Finally are you guys serious? about the United States not being a power? they have the second largest navy in the world and the largest economy, the largest industrial base and the most resources, plus 100 million people. just because they dont choose to go around conquering shit or have a large standing army doesnt mean they arent a power
Italians were extracting oil before the 1950s, it just wasn't that much. Regardless, with no WW1, i don't think oil would be so massively important. Lots of ships would still run on coal and the lower level of demand makes buying from other countries, like Venezuela or Romania, relatively sufficient.
