To put it bluntly, France indeed has the power to simultaneously challenge both Spain and Italy. The question is, for the sake of Tunisia, what benefits does launching a major war against two great powers bring to France?
Provoking Spain and Italy to the point of no return will only make France's diplomatic situation worse. As long as the French Government exercises some wisdom, war with Italy and Spain is impossible.
Of course, unexpected incidents might occur too.
However, this war is destined not to be a full-scale war. If necessary, letting Spanish soldiers see some blood could be beneficial.
Even if a war breaks out, the great powers are sure to mediate at an appropriate time. After all, for the British, whether it is France or Italy that wins, it would impact their regional balance policy in Europe.
With the support of Spain, the Italian Government is in high spirits, and they have decided to indulge domestic public opinion, letting the demonstrations unfold freely.
