just as long as they don't try to repeat the restoration of Rome, they'll do fine.

Well last time, we almost throwed all the italian army into the sea

fucking hitler ruined everything though 😦

at the time, I see a lot of paralels of my own country with Italy.
Both were primarily agrarian countries for example

and as default, such countries are incapable of waging proper war.

We are agrarian too

the socialists though have devalued our trades sadly though, we are capable to make everything but they import everything and add massive taxes to our agricultural

and another flaw with Mussolinis neo-Rome idea was the emergence of the nation state idea, people telling imperialists to fuck off and developing countries based on a single ethnos.

The thing with Mussolini is, that he didn't won the people over but forced himself on power

half his lime was in socialistic movements

If hitler wouldn't fuck us over with the bulgarians we would have hanged that bastard in Rome

Juzef Pilsudski had an idea to remake the Litvo-Polak commonwealth into a federal state.

Benito should've focused on strenghtening Italy as a whole, flipping off the rest, and giving the roman reconquest a permanent shelving.

And allow Mori to do his fucking thing in exterminating mafia.

Well, we wanted to stay neutral up to the point Mussolini send an ultimatum and destroyed one of our ships in a holiday

We don't have problem with italians but they have backstabbed us a lot in the past, and if the war was only between us rome would have burned that time

from the little bits I know, Italy's failed attempt at subjugating Greece was basically it's afghanistan.

We conquered all the albania when the war fired up

almost throwed all the italian army in the sea

we don't even had a mechanized army yet

It was pretty much jackasses with rifles who knew their land like their hands. And also, italian generals insisted on using obsolete tactics.

that's the TL;DR version

and the thing is about such warfare, without keen cooperation it is impossible for the invader to win.

Greek army wasn't jackasses though

I meant that in a good way.

Their orders were clear and sound, Don't leave the line not even for an inch. Everyone fought like their last days because they knew what would happen if the enemy reached Greece

Kinda like finns in that regard.

although those dudes are a whole other league of brave.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hill_731

Battle of hill 731 was what plummeted the morale of italians

They were bombared in that hill by italians for 2 whole weeks by artillery/planes and non left the line

And they were right not to leave the line. When we were subjucated Germany executed whole villages and they still haven't paid for their crimes

fuck the krauts

So the fate of greeks would've been same as us I under Generalplan Ost I assume? by that I mean extermination

Yes,

Raping/pillaging/executions

And because they knew it they wouldn't leave the front

Even when Athens fall, the few military left in metaxas line (it was in greco-bulgarian) borders they still kept fighting until they run out of ammunition

when The germans captured them they also got executed

After that, our military didn't stopped there though when Greece fell they joined the fight in Egypt and helped the british

our troops either were conscripted by the shitstains or red shitstains, or went into the woods as partisans.
