Re: Italy in world war 2 website
I understand you are angry by the acts of some Italians to the Slovenians in world war II, but it happens in every war. Read throughout history and there is always a population that is greatly hurt due to a war. The German one wasn't the only example that Italy had from world war II. When the allies came thousands of women were raped by black colonial French soldiers out of revenge. The allies let them do it.
Mussolini was worshiped, but he was not worshiped for being a military hero. I respect him very much in fact, but I don't respect him for getting himself killed and purging my nation into a war and getting thousands killed. Mussolini was worshiped for sending poor southern Italian farmer boys to school, he was worshiped for saving many families from sinking into absolute poverty. For stopping the country from turning into a third world nation or a communist haven. Even when Italy started gaining colonies in Africa, Italians always had a rough time swallowing being superior to anyone. As I stated earlier, even with the Greek brothers.
The Mussolini from 1939 to 1945 is a totally different man. A man who became selfish and greedy and lost his sense to the Italian people. A man who with along Adolph Hitler forever tainted the name of fascism forever.
