Italy..
-Benito Mussolini was the prime minister of Italy in 1922..
-Vittorio Orlando was linked to the Big Three and led Italy in this.. and died in 1952..
-The Big Three was the three leaders of the Allies and they were Joseph Stallin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill..
1. How did the Treaty of Versailles impact them?
what'd it do to this country?
-The Treaty of Versailles didn't do hardly anything for Italy..
-Woodrow Wilson didn't give Orlando the land that he wanted because he thought they were unacceptable when it came to his belief of self-determination..
- People didn't really get what they wanted out of the Treaty because they expected a lot more than what they got, since they thought that they were on the winning side in the war..
-Italy thought they could get out of the Adriatic coastline, which they didn't..
- Their leader fell out of power after the Treaty didn't give their country what they wanted..
-The other countries didnt find Italy very trustworthy and other countries took advantage of the political instability of Italy..
2. What type(s) of government did this country have in the interwar years(1919-1938)?
maybe more than one..
Vittorio Orlando was a diplomatic..
Benito Mussolini was a socialist..
3. How did their leader, that led them throughout WWII, come to power?
Mussolini pretty much just went around and got a whole bunch of people to like him, and people were on his side and ready to support him at whatever.. and then when Orlando wasn't prime minister anymore and humiliated his country Mussolini took over. Mussolini's rise to power began in WW1 with the involovement of Italy because of the Allies.. His involvement wasn't nessesary or beneficial, and the Socialist Party opposed the addition of the Italian Arms to the forces of the Allies.. He was a Socialist Journalist, and he promised the Socialist Party before the war that he wouldn't help the war, but after the war started he got involved in the war and left his Socialist Party.. After he left the Socialist Party he found some more newspapers and fascists groups.. (fascism= a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition)
4. How did this leader change their country(for the better and worse) prior to WWII?
gave them more support and let them know what was going on.. helped them not depend on the Nazi Germans..(hopefully not zombies, those things are hard to kill(; on cod, gosh!)
5. What were the goals of the leader?
-to get more land..
- they didn't really have any after they didn't get the land they wanted, because after they didn't get their land they just kinda gave up, in my opinion..
6. What was the military strategy of this country in the inter-war years(1919-1938)?
-600,000 men of Italy were killed in the war, and fought against the Axis Powers and with the Allies..
-In the war Italy should have fought with the Axis Powers but instead they waited a while and then they joined the war with the Allies..
7. What role did they play in WWII?
attcker.. got attacked?
-kinda both i guess, because they didn't want to fight at all and they were unintersested in the idea of it.. and when they did fight they didn't try at all.. they just wanted nothing to do with it.. and the people of Italy didn't really believe in their leader.. and they were attacked with the words of other countries, because they were just a poor country.. and for the war they had very poor weaponry.. they didn't really try because they knew Germany was going to win, so why get killed? that was their thoughts..
8. Who were their allies in WWII?
-U.S.
-France.
-Great Britain.
9. How did WWII impact/effect the country?
-Italy didn't really participate in the war and they left Germany and the Axis powers and went to the Allies, and fought with them, with the least might that they could.. They didn't get the land that they wanted in the begining and both of their leaders pretty much sucked.. so they really had no idea what to do about anything because they didn't have anyone to lead them.. they were pretty much just lazy piles.. along with their prime ministers..
