Germany was pitted by Italy during World War I, why didn t it have a long memory during World War II

This is the opinion of the brain-dead stick. And not the opinion of the Germans, without Italy, Germany would have been finished long ago.

There is a saying that "God created Italy to trap Germany". Germany was pitted by Italy in World War I, Germany was pitted by Italy in World War II, and even playing football was still pitted by Italy, Italy is simply a pit German professional household. Some people can't help but ask, why was Germany pitted by Italy in World War I, and World War II is not long in memory?

In fact, Germany can't be blamed for this, Germany was pitted by Italy during World War I, because it was the first time to cooperate with Italy, Germany didn't expect Italy to be so pitted, and even the African black uncle couldn't beat it. Unexpectedly, after the outbreak of World War I, Italy has been waiting and watching, and it has not taken the Triple Alliance Treaty seriously at all. After a year of fighting, Italy felt that there was nothing to be gained from Germany, so it turned into a situation and threw itself into the arms of the Entente, which in turn attacked the Allies and made Germany and his allies suffer.

However, Italy's first two ends made Italy a big profit in World War II. Although Germany hated Italy, it could not do anything about it. If Germany wins World War I, it is estimated that he will be the first to clean up.

During World War II, Germany knew that Italy was unreliable, but it still chose Italy because there was no way at that time. In the 30s, the situation in Europe was changing, and under the impact of a severe economic crisis, all the major capitalist countries, except for the Soviet Union, suffered heavy losses, their economies plummeted, their national lives plummeted, and a wave of unemployment and bankruptcy swept everywhere, and all countries were anxious. In order to extricate themselves from the predicament, various countries have taken measures to remedy the situation, the United States has extricated itself from the crisis through Roosevelt's New Deal, Britain has weathered the difficulties through liquidation, France has adopted decentralization to alleviate the contradictions, and other countries have also adopted various methods.

However, Italy and Japan were unable to resolve the contradictions because of their relatively thin foundations and poor strength, so they embarked on the road of fascism. Although Germany was strong, due to its lack of colonies and the oppression of Britain and France, it also embarked on the road of fascism. All three countries wanted to get out of their predicament through expansion, so they came together.

In addition, because Britain and France were unwilling to go along with Germany, the United States pursued a policy of neutrality, and the Soviet Union acted in disobedience, so Germany could only win over Japan and Italy. Although Italy is weak and relatively pitiful, it is at least a strong country, and it is better than nothing. Besides, Italy's Mussolini is a fascist old-timer, no matter what Italy thinks, at least Mussolini really wants to have a big deal with Germany.

In this way, the three countries reached an intention to cooperate, and the Axis bloc was formed. It's just that Hitler didn't expect that Italy was still so pitted, and after the start of the fight, he sent it all the way. Hitler stated

Italy is too pit, Germany is really unable to take it.

They are allies, they are not fighting, they are just cooperating.

You can look at the modern history of the world, it's quite interesting.

No, they are allies, and the two countries have different lines of aggression.

After the fall of Mussolini's regime, Italy withdrew from the Axis and the Allies negotiations, Hitler knew that he immediately sent heavy troops to fight Italy and rescue Mussolini, and then supported Mussolini to become a new regime in northern Italy, when Germany had occupied northern Italy, and the regime that brought Mussolini down withdrew to southern Italy, and under the influence of the Italians, that regime fought against Mussolini (as for the name of the regime I forgot) and then the southern regime negotiated with Britain and the United States, Later, Britain and the United States and other countries announced that Italy would become a member of the Central Powers, and after the negotiations, the airports and ports in southern Italy were at the mercy of the Allies.

With Italy, Germany has failed, and if Italy really gives some strength, Europe will really let the Germans gallop, at least not let Germany open up the African battlefield. There will be no battle on both the east and the west. Rommel once said that one of my heavily armed guard companies could capture a fully manned Italian Panzer Division.

It is conceivable that Italy's combat effectiveness is low.

Germany has too long a battle front, and the war depends on the economy and resources after all, and how can one country fight against the three major economic powers without defeat.

Italy is Mussolini's regime overthrown, poor fat man.

Germany: Productivity and logistical supply lines are too long to keep up with, otherwise history will change.

It is said that after the defeat of the Allies and the Soviet forces also found a great deal of wealth in Germany.

Italy: There is nothing to say about the productivity, the supply, the combat effectiveness of the army, nothing to keep up with.

Germany itself is very strong, but it can't stand up to fighting the whole world.

Aggression too.

In the early stage of World War II, Germany and Italy were close allies, and German troops could be stationed in Italy reasonably and legally, and there was no such thing as invasion.

On July 10, 1943, American and British troops landed in Sicily. On July 24, the fascist parliament voted by a majority to demand Mussolini's resignation. The next day, Mussolini was summoned by the king**.

At the same time, Field Marshal Badogglio was appointed Prime Minister, a non-partisan ** was formed, and the news was announced to the whole world. Mussolini, on the other hand, was placed under house arrest.

After the fall of Mussolini, Hitler was worried about Italy's surrender to the Allies and the landing of the Allies in southern Italy, so under the pretext of reducing the defense burden in northern Italy, he sent Marshal Rommel and eight divisions of German troops across the border to occupy the Alpine mountain passes, and established the Pisa-Rimini Line in northern Italy to support the other eight divisions of German troops stationed on Italy mainland south of the line. And sent special forces to rescue Mussolini, establishing a puppet regime in northern Italy under German control.

First of all, there is no doubt that the Badoglio regime was appointed by the King of Italy, and that it was the legitimate Italian without objection. The Germans sent their armed forces across the border to occupy Italian lands without their consent; and supported Mussolini as a spokesman to establish a puppet regime to confront the Allies. All of the above-mentioned acts fully meet the definition of aggression and are unequivocal aggression.

During World War II, Germany, Italy and Japan were fascist countries as the Triple Alliance.

Germany did not invade Italy because they were allies.

During World War II, Italy was also an Axis power and an ally of Germany.

During World War II, Germany, Japan, and Italy were the Axis powers, so there were none.

<> "Italy was an important factor in Germany's defeat during World War II.

After the outbreak of World War II, Hitler, with the assistance of the famous German generals von Manstein and Rommel, first occupied the Rhine demilitarized zone, and decided to continue to expand abroad after seeing that Zhenhong had taken the bridge between Britain and France and took a policy of appeasement that had nothing to do with him.

Later, after Germany threatened Czechoslovakia to cede the Sudetenland, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy convened the Munich Conference and decided to sacrifice the interests of Czechoslovakia.

Later, the Sudetenland was ceded to Germany without the consent of the countries concerned. Later, Germany raided Belgium, destroyed France, and then conquered much of Western Europe.

In fact, in the early stages of World War II, Germany had a smooth ride – including the early stages of the Soviet-German war. But then Germany finally failed, what is the reason for this? In addition to the combined strength and strength of the country and the number of allies on both sides, Italy was also a key factor.

Although Italy was Germany's ally in the game, due to the poor level of Italian operational command and morale, Germany only let him hold the secondary battlefield - North Africa. The result was a big surprise that even so, the Italian army, which had advanced ** and a large number of troops, surrendered to the American and British allies, who were far smaller than themselves.

As a result, the German army had to fight on three fronts, the Russian army on the eastern front, Britain and France on the western front, and the United States and Britain on the southern front. In the end, the Germans lost Sangyu, the southern front was breached, and Italy surrendered. So the defeat of Germany, Italy was also an important factor.

Italy was a core country both times in the First and Second World Wars, and in both wars, Italy was allied with Germany. However, although Italy and Germany became allies, after the outbreak of World War I, Italy suddenly betrayed the Germans and joined the enemy camp, which was one of the main reasons for Germany's defeat, and in World War II, Italy betrayed Germany again. The main reason for the first Italian betrayal of Germany was the extremely unstable relations between Italy and Austria.

The main reason for Italy's betrayal of Germany in the second time was that Italy had been on both sides, and in this time Italy still did not firmly move towards one side, but to see which side was stronger.

Until 1870, Italy was in a state of fragmentationA considerable part of the many states in Italy are controlled by Austria, so the relationship between Austria and Italy has always been bad, and the main contradiction is reflected in the territorial dispute. But later, after the reunification of Italy, it wanted to seek development. This, coupled with the sudden French occupation of Tunisia, made it necessary for Italy to find a reliable ally.

Later, as the situation developed, Italy had to put aside its contradictions with Austria and become an ally with Germany, Austria. Because Germany had become a military ally with Austria before Italy sought Germany as an ally.

However,Although the three countries became military allies, the contradictions between Italy and Austria persistedAnd there are always some contradictions between the two countries to a greater or lesser extent. Moreover, at that time, the main reason for Italy to find an ally was the failure to compete with France for Tunisia, and it was only when Italy faced a great threat that it sought allies. As long as the situation at that time changed, the alliance of the three countries was likely to be dissolved.

Later, in 1911, Italy and Austria fought over the Balkans, which were Austrian territory, and the two countries had a dispute, which led to the later betrayal of the alliance.

At that time, Italy formed an alliance with Germany and declared war on him together, but as the situation developed, the Axis powers gradually declined, and after several defeats, Italy saw that the situation was not good, so it chose to contact both camps, one side continued to contact Germany, and the other side began to seek contact with the Central Powers. Later, Germany declared defeat, Italy announced its withdrawal from the Axis powers and began to march into Germany, completely betraying Germany.

Italy followed Germany into the world war twice, but both finally betrayed Germany and surrendered, which is also directly related to the character of the Italians, who saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly surrendered.

Italy followed Germany in both world wars and finally betrayed Germany, because Italy is a country that is very good at watching the situation, and it is very good at seeing the wind and rudder, and during the war, Italy finally chose to defect for the sake of its own national interests.

In World War I, the contradictions between Italy and Austria-Hungary were too serious; In World War II, it was because Italy saw the war situation clearly.

It's not a betrayal, it's a lack of control over the domestic situation.

Interesting history, why Italy "betrayed" Germany and Austria-Hungary during World War I.
