Convention of Constantinople (1888)

While I recognize that the question is somewhat academic, is the subject treaty presume to be in effect in Wesworld?

I'd presume so.

It's my understanding that the canal itself is still majority owned (and presumably operated) by the French Compagnie de Suez, with a minority British and Italian stake. France still hasn't figured out a good way to force the Italian fingers out of that pot.

If we had an Italian player you could make them an offer they couldn't refuse... :D

Yes, I'd presume the same as Brock.
I'd say at this point it might well be Egypt wanting a finger in the pot or all the pot that might be of greater concern than the status of Italy's share!
Actually it probably makes sense for Italy to have a stake, would make a good what-if for 1930-45 history if Mussolini already had a stake in the most vital asset in the western Middle East.
