'AHC: Major Communist Insurgency in US'.
Less Weather Underground, more Shining Path Peru or a "Red IRA" launching their own "People's War" on the US government and American society at large.

‘Violet Gibson Assassinates Benito Mussolini’. See here for OTL context. She only got off one shot (her gun misfired the second time), but even then, it still grazed Duce’s nose.

When Ike was elected POTUS, some people (e.g. Eden) warned him re: John Foster Dulles. Ike himself also considered John McCloy, Paul Hoffman, or Walter Judd for the job. The latter however recommended Dulles.
WI Ike had made someone else Secretary of State?

The Fascist Party main remain in power for some years still in Italy but the removal of its main driver might end up it falling apart. Could make for a very different time perhaps without a Croat assassinating King Alexander I of Yugoslavia - occupation of Albania and war against Ethiopia as well as involvement in the Spanish Civil War which all will contribute to a different WWII when that takes off.
