what if Italy stayed true to his alliance with Austria and Germany?

imho France would be unable to resist, having to deploy even a small army on south front would result in german victory by the end of 1915 at most

USA would never enter war

Britain will make peace a few weeks after France

Italy gets Savoy and Corsica

France loses most of its colonies

Britain stays the same

Balkans fell under Austro German influence

Ottoman empire survives

Kerensky stays in power, Lenin will be a minor party leader.

WWII never happens, no one recalls about a corporal named Hitler, who goes at painting

how would our world be?

better or worse?

I think it's a pity Britain didn't side with Germany in 1914 or have the sense to stay out of the war. On the whole i think the world would be better as there wouldn't be another WW2, although in the Balkans i predict an increase in terrorism as Serb nationalists seek greater independence from Austria. The survival of the great empires would have both positive and negative aspects: on the one hand European technology and fairer laws would help primitive societies modernise, but on the other the people would be oppressed to one degree or another as policy in the colonies would be dictated by the white minority

I like Germany and Austria and thus can't really think that the continued rule of the German and Austria-Hungarian empires could be a bad thing.

Also as you said Hitler most likely would have never became of any importance.
