Italy-
World War II was one of the most struggling war that could go down in history. More people got killed, very expensive, and many people were wounded or went missing. Germany was a big blame for this happening and The Treaty of Versailles made this happen, and it also caused social distress on Italy and took land away. This war was basically fought between The Axis (Germany, Japan, Italy, Hungary, and Bulgaria, and Romania.) and The allied forces or the big 4. (England, United States, Soviet Union, France) but there were other allied forces such as Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Greece, Austrailia, etc. Italy had a dictatorship as a type of government and this is a form of government that is ruled by a dictator.
Their dictator was known as Benito Mussolini and many people thought he was a lot like Adolf Hitler of Germany. He made a huge mistake though he thought declared war on France and helped Hitler gain land. He felt like he had to help the Nazi's or they would attack Italy. He took them into war when they were relatively safe. Historians believe that was his worst mistake. His main goals was to create an empire and morally and physically develop a stronger man from an "ordinary man." He also wanted to gain land and gain a lot of strong men for his army. Italy was known as German's helper and Italy had to make sure that they don't loose their army and make sure that they got German or Japan help. They could not get over-taken, they had to be aware. Italy was known as weak to stronger nations, and this was mostly caused by their lack of morale, and poor equipment.
They did play a major role which was to create an ethiopia and they were to help Germany and Japan to take over France, and if they succeded they would recieve some portion of France. Their allies include like Germany, Japan, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. World War 2 pretty much ended The Great Depression. It also gave Germany many problems, but it played a big impact on Italy. Italy got heavily bombed and it's dicator Benito Mussolini was captured and shot. The Allied Forces had won the war and took land and power from the Axis Powers.
