Why did Cyprus turn communist? Also, if Italy turned communist, San Marino would 100% follow it. The Vatican would just remain neutral as usual.
I imagine OP was thinking of Cyprus doing enosis with Greece, though I don't think that's something that the British would allow for in that time period, and definitely not in this scenario.
On the topic of San Marino, they actually did turn communist! And they were that way until 1957, when the treacherous social-democrats and christian-democrats overthrew the democratically elected communist-socialist government with the aid of Italian tanks! (source is in Polish, sorry, try to bear with a translator)
Part of Greece. And yeah I was thinking about San Marino and Vatican which would be neutral but I wasn't sure about San Marino.
