In World War II, why couldn t Italy defeat anyone?

In September 1939, under the long-term nourishment of the "appeasement policy" of Britain and France, Nazi Germany became stronger and stronger, and Hitler finally no longer had to care about Britain, France and other countries, and brazenly sent troops to blitz Poland.

Against this background, Britain, France and other countries had no choice but to declare war on Germany. Since then, the Second World War has been in full swing, and humanity has been plunged into an unprecedented catastrophe.

Due to its strength and preparation, Nazi Germany's "blitzkrieg" was very effective, and it took only one month to defeat millions of Polish troops on all fronts and successfully capture Warsaw. During this period, Hitler was very worried that his back would be attacked by Britain, especially France, after all, the French Army at that time claimed to be "the first in the world".

As a result, Poland in the front was swearing to resist Nazi Germany, while Britain and France in the rear were thundering and raining, hiding behind the Maginot Line and not moving, watching Poland annihilate. Seeing this, Hitler smiled contemptuously.

In May 1940, after achieving the set goal on the Eastern Front, Germany set its sights on the Western Front and launched an attack on France, Belgium and other countries. Almost following the Polish model, in the same month, France became a German subordinate.

The only difference is that Poland died without fighting, while France surrendered to the Nazis without shame. The author believes that if it had not been for the great evacuation of Dunkirk, Britain's fate would have been the same.

At that time, Hitler was already fruitful, and the iron hooves of the Nazis had swept the entire European continent with a devastating force. Basically, all of Europe had become Hitler's sphere of influence. At the time of the parliamentary elections that year, Hitler put forward the goal of the Nazi Party, that is, to strengthen the country first, and then to dominate.

Today, Hitler has fulfilled his promise and has dominated the European continent. In contrast, the "new Roman Empire" that he had promised to the Italian people was still in the air, with nothing to be seen.

First, Italy did not have the bravery and aggressiveness of the Romans. Second, Italy seems to be a pseudo-power, and third, although Italy claims to be the sixth largest industrial power in the world, its strength is not as strong as imagined.

Because Italy was too timid, although its military strength was good, it did not dare to fight.

Because the military strength of Italy is relatively poor, and the people here are relatively reluctant to fight.

The Second World War was a war between the International Anti-Fascist League and the Fascist Alliance, the Axis powers. In the end, it ended with the victory of the International Anti-Fascist League.

As a member of the International Anti-Fascist League, Italy is naturally a victorious country, but because Italy rebelled and surrendered to the Axis powers, it naturally cannot imagine enjoying the fruits of victory in World War II like the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Britain and France. So Italy, as the victorious power, was only nominal, Italy compensated Greece, Ethiopia paid indemnities, ceded land to Lanslav and limited the army, and abandoned overseas colonies. However, national sovereignty was retained.

Compared with the severe punishment of Germany and Japan, Italy only paid a light sentence, and many reparations were not compensated in the end. To sum up, although Italy is considered a victorious country, it is a victory but not a disadvantage, why can Italy become an anti-fascist ally.

1. Early Surrender: Italy was the first Axis power to surrender.

2. There is capital to surrender: Italy, unlike Germany, will not surrender to death, and finally runs out of negotiating capital. And Italy was the most shrewd, and it turned back halfway through the fight, so it received preferential treatment from the Allies. The three major Axis powers in World War II were treated well when they surrendered, such as Italy and Japan.

3. Italy has been throwing the pot to Mussolini. And it was indeed the new Italian regime that overthrew Mussolini that signed the surrender treaty at that time.

The Italian army was inherently ineffective.
