  152.  @kloschuessel773  Why was Germany in Greece? Here's why: From Hitler’s own words: “Others among the German leadership were less critical, most notably Adolf Hitler. In his address to the Reichstag following the conclusion of the Balkan Campaign, Hitler was complimentary to the Greeks for their "extremely brave resistance", but stated that given the Greek logistical situation, German involvement was not decisive in the Greco-Italian conflict: "The Duce... was convinced that a quick decision would be arrived at one way or another in the forthcoming season. I was of the same opinion." He stated that he had no quarrel with Greece (which he had acknowledged as part of the Italian sphere anyway) and that his intervention was aimed solely at the British as he suspected that they planned to set up a threat to his rear in the vein of the Salonika Front of the First World War: "the German forces, therefore, represented no assistance to Italy against Greece, but a preventive measure against the British." He further noted that by the beginning of April the Albanian campaign against the Italians "had so weakened [Greece] that its collapse had already become inevitable", and credited the Italians with having "engaged the greater part of the Greek Army." [251] In his private correspondence in April 1942, Hitler said: "It is equally impossible to imagine what might have happened if the Italian front had not been stabilized in Albania, thanks to Mussolini; the whole of the Balkans would have been set alight at a moment when our advance towards the southeast was still in its early stages." In N. Africa the Italians had successfully WON , BEFORE Germany arrived .

  317.  @ilyarepin7750 Uh, that's the past, look at Maserati's latest sales figures and profits, steadily up every year. And instead of believing all the clickbait titles go to multiple videos and see what owners say about their OWN experiences. and about the newer models. And if they're so "incompetent" Ferrari is the most powerful car brand in the world, most racing titles by far says what? And why would sales continue for all their brands if they "fall apart after 30K miles????" And why is Italy a top 10 economy, trading nation, wealthiest citizens in the world #2 industrial power in the EU,? Because people enjoy spending money on junk over and over for decades?? What experiences have you had with Italian products, some used vehicle not properly maintained then blaming the manufacturer? I imported Italian furniture and home accessories for decades and the customers returned over and over because of the exclusive quality, style, I could count on one hand the number of complaints and there was never anything major. Take a look at the comments on German car brand videos, the complaints are endless, only Porsche was reliable and lately has sunk in the ratings, BMW only lately becoming better. My "perfect" Accord bought new, always dealer maintained had engine problems at 80K and blew up on the interstate at 120K, constant costly repairs out of warranty. British, American, Korean brands have a terrible reputation. And who is exploiting, is Maserati forcing/mandating anyone to buy and people don't know what's in this video before buying? Try again, son.

  367. “A popular impression in the United States of the Regia Marina, the Italian Navy, during World War II is that because its powerful surface fleet spent so much time in port, it was more effective as a fleet in being – in other words, for what it could do – than for what it actually did. As with all generalities, there are exceptions, and in this case that exception was its Decima Flottiglia MAS (10th Light Flotilla), one of the most effective units in the history of special operations.” None of the major participants of World War II have suffered as much unjust and unfounded criticism as the military forces of the Kingdom of Italy. It really is just amazing how this false narrative has taken hold and grown ever stronger and more prevalent over time. The nonsense of the Italian Navy being completely inept: “This revisionist history convincingly argues that the Regia Marina Italiana (the Royal Italian Navy) has been neglected and maligned in assessments of its contributions to the Axis effort in World War II. After all, Italy was the major Axis player in the Mediterranean, and it was the Italian navy and air force, with only sporadic help from their German ally, that stymied the British navy and air force for most of the thirty-nine months that Italy was a belligerent. It was the Royal Italian Navy that provided the many convoys that kept the Axis war effort in Africa alive by repeatedly braving attack by aircraft, submarine, and surface vessels. If doomed by its own technical weaknesses and Ultra (the top-secret British decoding device), the Italian navy still fought a tenacious and gallant war; and if it did not win that war, it avoided defeat for thirty-nine, long, frustrating months.”

  473. This is NEVER mentioned and is the key to Italy's under performance: Won the Spanish Civil War which greatly hampered the Greek campaign and the remainder of Italy’s war effort of an already unprepared Italy back-stabbed by Germany when they broke the Pact of Steel just 4 months after signing in Sept. ‘39, stipulating Italy would receive 3 more years to rearm, invaded Poland and brought an unprepared Italy in WW II. "The Consequences of Italian Intervention in the Spanish Civil War" Italian participation in the Spanish conflict from July 1936 and March 1939 had three major consequences: First. Italian aid to the Nationalists played a major role in their victory — possibly the decisive role. Furthermore, the high level of Italian assistance to the Nationalists was crucial in bringing the downfall of the Second Republic prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. This prevented any rescue of the Republic by the French, as might have occurred lad it survived until September 1939. Second. The diplomatic and political consequences of Italian involvement in the war gravely hindered any post-Ethiopian War reconstruction of the anti-German Stresa Front. In particular, Italian and French aid to opposite sides in the Civil War made a rapprochement between Rome and Paris virtually impossible. Instead, the de facto Mussolini-Hitler alliance in support of the Nationalists led directly to the formation of the Rome-Berlin Axis in October 1936 and contributed significantly to the May 1939 Italian-German military alliance known as the Pact of Steel. In turn, the Pact of Steel gave Hitler the confidence to attack Poland in September 1939, initiating the outbreak of World War II. Third. The Italian Army and Air Force were significantly drained by their heavy material support to the Nationalist and the involvement of significant Italian ground and air units in the Civil War. To a lesser degree, the Italian Navy also suffered from its participation in the conflict. The resultant military weaknesses were a major factor in persuading Mussolini to proclaim Italian “non-belligerence” in September 1939. More significantly, after the defeat of France persuaded Mussolini to intervene in the European conflict in June 1940, the continuing debilities of the Italian forces due to their participation in the Spanish war contributed to the disasters suffered by Italian arms in 1940-41.

In his address to the Reichstag following the conclusion of the Balkan Campaign, Hitler was complimentary to the Greeks for their "extremely brave resistance", but stated that given the Greek logistical situation, German involvement was not decisive in the Greco-Italian conflict: "The Duce... was convinced that a quick decision would be arrived at one way or another in the forthcoming season.

He further noted that by the beginning of April the Albanian campaign against the Italians "had so weakened [Greece] that its collapse had already become inevitable", and credited the Italians with having "engaged the greater part of the Greek Army." [251] In his private correspondence in April 1942, Hitler said: "It is equally impossible to imagine what might have happened if the Italian front had not been stabilized in Albania, thanks to Mussolini; the whole of the Balkans would have been set alight at a moment when our advance towards the southeast was still in its early stages."

  487.  @dillonblair6491  Ethiopian "war" '87-89 was an undeclared war that ended in friendship that later turned into the first war...DUDE, Italy did not lose. I keep saying it because obviously a newly formed country is never as powerful as centuries old countries considered world powers. Russia was not a newly formed country by the time 1943 rolled around and was/is the largest country in land mass, 60 TIMES the size of Italy, and twice the population. And it was the Germans who backstabbed Italy breaking the Pact of Steel just 4 months after signing supposedly giving Italy 3 more years to prepare since their military was severely depleted and outdated. The Germans had been building up their military for 2 decades and fought NO wars after WW I. Italy had fought for 25 years in N. Africa, plus winning the Spanish civil war and supplying them with a large amount of munitions and weapons. Italy had conquered Albania, Eritrea, Libya, Ethiopia, Somalia BEFORE WW II even started. They had thrown out or stalemated the British in N. Africa. The British later did the same to Italy AFTER mass American aid and Italy was in a deep depleted state at the time also fighting in Greece. I stated Italy had a larger Empire than Germany, and Germany did better LATER because they were starting WW II in full power, while Italy was completely exhausted and in the conditions stated above. Actually Italy WON every war whether in N. or East Africa, Albania, Greece, Spain, DUDE. Again tell me what ANY OTHER European country besides Germany, Russia, WON...it was ZERO And after surrendering in '43, the Fascist continued fighting with Germany until the END as did the anti-Fascist with the Allies, DUDE.

  563. yEAH, let's compare BUD....Italy: The richest in Europe in savings and one of the highest in home ownership, have 4X less debt per household than the Dutch, 8th in the world in household net worth, 4th in Europe, 7th in the world in National Wealth, 3rd in total NET contributions to the EU among many others. Italy: #10 ...in Ultra High Net Worth Individuals Above USD $50M.. #7...just below India that has 25X the pop. Number of Millionaires by country: #7... In REAL wage growth, not skewered by exchange rates...between 2017 & 2018 in increased millionaires... #1 Gold reserves... #3 (from official eu statistics):industrial production by country Germany recorded the highest value of sold production, equivalent to 29 % of the EU total, followed by Italy (18 %), France (12 %), Spain (9 %), Poland (5 %) and the Netherlands (3%). The other 21 EU Member States contributed with smaller shares (up to 3 %).14 lug 2021 You say Italy depends on German money? NET CONTRIBUTOR to the EU budget since DECADES and each years gives 14 bn euro to the EU budget, receiving far less. This money go to Poland, Hungary, Spain and rd NET other poor countries in EU. Italy has a private wealth that is up to 11 trillions dollars, so even if she "goes bankrupt" for her debt (which is 166% of the GDP although most in Italian hands, Japan has 270% debt and America also over 130% and ALL THESE COUNTRIES ARE TOO BIG TO FAIL, Italians have the money TO BUY ALL THE DEBT! The regions (and autonomous provinces) of northern Italy have the following GDP per capita (2019): Alto Adige/Südtirol 48.1k, Lombardy 39.7k, Trentino 38.8k, Aosta Valley 38.8k, Emilia-Romagna 36.7k, Veneto 33.7k, Liguria 32.3k, Friuli-Venezia Giulia 31.9k, Piedmont 31.7k. Comparable with the GDP per capita (2019) of: Saxony 31.4k, Schleswig-Holstein 33.7k, Rhineland-Palatinate 35.4k, Saarland 36.6k, Lower Saxony 38.4k, North Rhine-Westphalia 39.6k, Berlin 41.9k, Hesse 46.9k. Better than Saxony (31k), Thuringia (29k), Brandenburg (29k), Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (29k), Saxony-Anhalt (28.8k). Worse than Baden-Württemberg (47.3k), Bavaria (48.3k), Bremen (49.2k), Hamburg (66.8k). According to the German institute Stiftung Markwirtschaft, in 2018, the aggregate explicit debt + implicit debt of Italy is 122%, lower than the German one at 170%.  @jkardez4794

  619.  @Rowlph8888  "Students and scholars came from all over Europe to study at institutions of higher learning in Italy. The Medical School at Salerno, founded in the ninth century, was the world's first medical school, and unrivaled in the Middle Ages. The University of Bologna, the first modern university, was founded in Bologna in 1088. The University of Padua, the second oldest university in Italy, was founded in 1222 as a school of law. The University of Naples, founded in 1224, was the world's first state-supported university. During the Middle Ages, the vitality of Italian merchants was evident throughout Europe, and the resultant trade prompted their invention of financial and business practices which provided the foundation for modern banking, commerce and capitalism.[5] The original banks were "merchant banks" that Italian grain merchants first invented in the Middle Ages. Merchants and bankers grew in stature based on the strength of the Lombard plains cereal crops, and capitalism evolved based on these banks. Indeed, banking (from the Italian word for "bench") can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the north such as Florence, Venice and Genoa. Perhaps the most famous Italian bank was the Medici bank, established by Giovanni Medici in 1397.[7] The development of banking spread from northern Italy through Europe during the early Renaissance and helped create modern capitalism. Luca Pacioli is referred to as the "Father of Accounting" The Bank of Saint George (Casa delle compere e dei banchi di San Giorgio) was a bank of the Republic of Genoa, which was the main financer of the voyages of Columbus to the New World by Spain, founded in the 14th century.[8] It is the oldest chartered bank in Europe and the world"

  674.  @ERH1453  Spaniards cost Italy the war...Hitler hated Franco Italian participation in the Spanish conflict from July 1936 and March 1939 had three major consequences: First. Italian aid to the Nationalists played a major role in their victory — possibly the decisive role. Furthermore, the high level of Italian assistance to the Nationalists was crucial in bringing the downfall of the Second Republic prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. This prevented any rescue of the Republic by the French, as might have occurred lad it survived until September 1939. Second. The diplomatic and political consequences of Italian involvement in the war gravely hindered any post-Ethiopian War reconstruction of the anti-German Stresa Front. In particular, Italian and French aid to opposite sides in the Civil War made a rapprochement between Rome and Paris virtually impossible. Instead, the de facto Mussolini-Hitler alliance in support of the Nationalists led directly to the formation of the Rome-Berlin Axis in October 1936 and contributed significantly to the May 1939 Italian-German military alliance known as the Pact of Steel. In turn, the Pact of Steel gave Hitler the confidence to attack Poland in September 1939, initiating the outbreak of World War II. Third. The Italian Army and Air Force were significantly drained by their heavy material support to the Nationalist and the involvement of significant Italian ground and air units in the Civil War. To a lesser degree, the Italian Navy also suffered from its participation in the conflict. The resultant military weaknesses were a major factor in persuading Mussolini to proclaim Italian “non-belligerence” in September 1939. More significantly, after the defeat of France persuaded Mussolini to intervene in the European conflict in June 1940, the continuing debilities of the Italian forces due to their participation in the Spanish war contributed to the disasters suffered by Italian arms in 1940-41.

  702.  @killgora1  The Italian people's musical sense, its liking for harmonious proportions, the beauty of its race! The Renaissance was the dawn of a new era, in which Aryan man found himself anew. There's also our own past on Italian soil. A man who is in- different to history is a man without hearing, without sight. Such a man can live, of course — but what a life? The magic of Florence and Rome, of Ravenna, Siena, Perugia! Tuscany and Umbria, how lovely they are! The smallest palazzo in Florence or Rome is worth more than all Windsor Castle. If the English destroy anything in Florence or Rome, it will be a crime. In Moscow, it wouldn't do any great harm; nor in Berlin, unfortunately. I've seen Rome and Pariš, and I must say that Pariš, with the exception of the Are de Triomphe, has nothing on the scale of the Coliseum, or the Castle of San Angelo, or St. Peter's. These monuments, which are the produet of a collective effort, have ceased to be on the scale of the individual. There's something queer about the Pariš buildings, whether it's those bull's-eye windows, so badly proportioned, or those gables that obliterate whole facades. If I compare the Pantheon in Rome with the Pantheon in Pariš, what a poor building — and what sculptures ! What I saw in Pariš has disappeared from my memory : Rome really seized hold of me. When the Duce čame to Berlin, we gave him a magnificent reception. But our journey in Italy, that was something else! The reception when we arrived, with ali the ceremonial. The visit to the Quirinal. Naples, apart from the castle, might be anywhere in South America. But there's always the courtyard ofthe royal palače. What nobility of proportions ! My dearest wish would be to be able to wander about in Italy as an unknown painter.

The Italian Renaissance was to a large extent an expression of humanism, that led to one of the most productive and significant periods in human history in the arts, literature, medicine and science. Greeks fleeing the Turkish invasion of the Byzantine Empire flocked to Italy, and helped spur the Renaissance and interest in ancient Greek texts. The Italian Renaissance also transformed art and humanism across Europe, and set the stage for the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Will Durant (in The Story of Civilization: The Renaissance): From 1500 to 1600 all Western Europe acknowledged her as the mother and nurse of the new civilization of science and art and the humanities ... So the sixteenth century, when the Renaissance declined in Italy, was an age of exuberant germination in France, England, Germany, Flanders, and Spain.[9] Renaissance architecture of the 15th and 16th centuries was a revival of elements of ancient Greek and Roman architecture.[14] It first developed in Florence, with Brunelleschi, Alberti and Palladio being among its innovators, and soon spread to other Italian cities, and later to France, Germany, England, Russia and other parts of Europe.

  951. From Hitler’s own words: “Others among the German leadership were less critical, most notably Adolf Hitler. In his address to the Reichstag following the conclusion of the Balkan Campaign, Hitler was complimentary to the Greeks for their "extremely brave resistance", but stated that given the Greek logistical situation, German involvement was not decisive in the Greco-Italian conflict: "The Duce... was convinced that a quick decision would be arrived at one way or another in the forthcoming season. I was of the same opinion." He stated that he had no quarrel with Greece (which he had acknowledged as part of the Italian sphere anyway) and that his intervention was aimed solely at the British as he suspected that they planned to set up a threat to his rear in the vein of the Salonika Front of the First World War: "the German forces, therefore, represented no assistance to Italy against Greece, but a preventive measure against the British." He further noted that by the beginning of April the Albanian campaign against the Italians "had so weakened [Greece] that its collapse had already become inevitable", and credited the Italians with having "engaged the greater part of the Greek Army."

  1075. Don't be fooled...lazy country...Just a few comments from Germans/foreigners: "Meanwhile here in Germany: Oh, there is snow, our trains will be late. Oh, there is rain, our trains will be late. Oh, there are 2.381 permanent construction sites on the track, our trains will be late. Oh, our train is not late, but the restaurant car went AWOL. (Actually happened.) Oh, we do have a restaurant car, but it's not functional. Oh, we do have a functional restaurant car, but not the staff to actually use it. Oh, there are no construction sites and we even have a functional restaurant car and enough staff, but the motor tractor broke down. Oh, there is no rain and no snow, there are no construction sites, we have a functioning restaurant car and enough staff and the motor tractor purrs like a cat... but unfortunately, our train drivers just went on strike for the 10th time in the last five years. But do not worry, they will be back on track right after the holiday season!" "In about 10 years there will be the Brenner base tunnel between Austria und Italy. In Austria we hope to get rid of a lot of Semi trucks because of this tunnel, but we are still waiting on Germany to do their part. The Italians and Austrians really work great together, but the Germans didn't do jack s** t. They signed the Memorandum of Montreux in 1994 and a couple of contracts in the meanwhile, but they didn't even start to improve their railways heading to the tunnel. This is BER and Stuttgart 21 all over again. Kudos to the Italians for these railway Ferraris. I saw one between Milan and Turin. They are also really beautiful."

  1363.  @sanitar-otti320  After Italian objections to the Anschluss, the German annexation of Austria, Germany sent three aeroplanes, 10,000 Mauser rifles and 10 million rounds of ammunition to the Ethiopians.[38] The serviceable portion of the Ethiopian Air Force was commanded by a Frenchman, André Maillet, and included three obsolete Potez 25 biplanes.[39] A few transport aircraft had been acquired between 1934 and 1935 for ambulance work, but the Air Force had 13 aircraft and four pilots at the outbreak of the war.[40] Airspeed in England had a surplus Viceroy racing plane, and its director, Neville Shute, was delighted with a good offer for the "white elephant" in August 1935. The agent said that it was to fly cinema films around Europe. When the client wanted bomb racks to carry the (flammable) films, Shute agreed to fit lugs under the wings to which they could attach "anything they liked". He was told that the plane was to be used to bomb the Italian oil storage tanks at Massawa, and when the CID enquired about the alien (ex-German) pilot practices in it Shute got the impression that the Foreign Office did not object. However, fuel, bombs and bomb racks from Finland could not be got to Ethiopia in time, and the paid-for Viceroy stayed at ita works. The emperor of Ethiopia had £16,000 to spend on modern aircraft to resist the Italians and planned to spend £5000 on the Viceroy and the rest on three Gloucester Gladiator fighters.[41] There were 50 foreign mercenaries who joined the Ethiopian forces, including French pilots like Pierre Corriger, the Trinidadian pilot Hubert Julian, an official Swedish military mission under Captain Viking Tamm, the White Russian Feodor Konovalov and the Czechoslovak writer Adolf Parlesak. Several Austrian Nazis, a team of Belgian fascists and the Cuban mercenary Alejandro del Valle also fought for Haile Selassie.[42] Many of the individuals were military advisers, pilots, doctors or supporters of the Ethiopian cause; 50 mercenaries fought in the Ethiopian army and another 50 people were active in the Ethiopian Red Cross or nonmilitary activities.[43] The Italians later attributed most of the relative success achieved by the Ethiopians to foreigners, or ferenghi.[44] (The Italian propaganda machine magnified the number to thousands to explain away the Ethiopian Christmas Offensive in late 1935.)[45]

  1609.  @killgora1  We must distinguish between the Fascist popular movement and the popular movement in Russia. The Fascist movement is a spontaneous return to the traditions of ancient Rome. The Russian movement has an essential tendency towards anarchy. By instinct, the Russian does not incline towards a higher form of society. Certain peoples can live in such a way that with them a collection of family units does not make a whole; The Aryan peoples are peoples who are particularly active. A man like Kriimel works from morning to night; such-and- such another person never stops thinking. In the same way, the Italian is as diligent as an ant (bienenfleissig). In the eyes of the Russian, the principal support of civilisation is vodka. His ideal consists in never doing anything but the indispensable. Our con- ception of work (work, and then more of it!) is one that he sub- mits to as if it were a real curse. The result of the collapse of the Roman Empire was a night that lasted for centuries. The Romans had no dislike of the Germans. This is shown by the mere fact that blond hair was fashionable with them. Amongst the Goths there were many men with dark hair. It's remarkable to observe the resemblances between the evolution of Germany and that of Italy. The creators of the language, Dante and Luther, rose against the ecumenical desires of the papacy. Each of the two nations was led to unity, against the dynastic interests, by one man. They achieved their unity against the will of the Pope.

  1610.  @killgora1  I must say, I always enjoy meeting the Duce. He's a great personality. It's curious to think that, at the same period as myself, he was working in the building trade in Germany. Our programme was worked out in 1919, and at that time I knew nothing about him. Our doctrines are based on the foundations proper to each of them, but every man's way of thinking is a result. Don't suppose that events in Italy had no influence on us. The brown shirt would probably not have existed without the black shirt. The march on Rome, in 1922, was one of the tuming-points of history. The mere fact that anything ofthe sort could be attempted, and could succeed, gave us an im- petus. A few weeks after the march on Rome, I was received by the Minister Schweyer. That would never have happened otherwise. If Mussolini had been outdistanced by Marxism, I don't know whether we could have succeeded in holding out. At that period National Socialism was a very fragile growth. If the Duce were to die, it would be a great misfortune for Italy. As I vvalked with him in the gardens of the Villa Bor- ghese, I could easily compare his profile with that of the Roman busts, and I realised he was one of the Caesars. There's no doubt at ali that Mussolini is the heir of the great men of that period. Despite their weaknesses, the Italians have so many qualities that make us like them. Italy is the country where intelligence created the notion of the State. The Roman Empire is a great political creation, the greatest of all.

  1612.  @killgora1  Greek war: Others among the German leadership were less critical, most notably Adolf Hitler. In his address to the Reichstag following the conclusion of the Balkan Campaign, Hitler was complimentary to the Greeks for their "extremely brave resistance", but stated that given the Greek logistical situation, German involvement was not decisive in the Greco-Italian conflict: "The Duce... was convinced that a quick decision would be arrived at one way or another in the forthcoming season. I was of the same opinion." He stated that he had no quarrel with Greece (which he had acknowledged as part of the Italian sphere anyway) and that his intervention was aimed solely at the British as he suspected that they planned to set up a threat to his rear in the vein of the Salonika Front of the First World War: "the German forces, therefore, represented no assistance to Italy against Greece, but a preventive measure against the British." He further noted that by the beginning of April the Albanian campaign against the Italians "had so weakened [Greece] that its collapse had already become inevitable", and credited the Italians with having "engaged the greater part of the Greek Army." [251] In his private correspondence in April 1942, Hitler said: "It is equally impossible to imagine what might have happened if the Italian front had not been stabilized in Albania, thanks to Mussolini; the whole of the Balkans would have been set alight at a moment when our advance towards the southeast was still in its early stages."

  1801. ​ @GhostSal  Tell me what in H the age of my account and not having a pic has to do with anything? And your pic and name couldn't be fabricated, right? Do you know how absurd you sound? You have not responded or contradicted one fact either I or Charlie have asked, not one and I have read all your posts. Just repetitive parroting with zero facts or backup. And every one of your responses are deflections. Your latest fabrication is that in Italy they don't see themselves as white, but as a Mediterranean people dissimilar from all others in heritage. Italians, French, Portuguese, Spaniards and Romanians are all of the same Latin heritage, but with different customs and identities, just as other European groups. But when it comes to RACE, and that's what we're talking about here, ALL Europeans are of the white RACE, there is no separate Latin RACE. "The Latins were originally an Italic tribe in ancient central Italy from Latium. As Roman power and colonization[1] spread Latin culture, during the Roman Empire, Latins came to mean mostly unified Italic Latin-speaking people and the Latin-speaking people of Italia, Gaul, Hispania and Dacia whose land was settled by Roman colonists." "What does Latin mean? The term is usually used to refer to Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, namely Hispanic America and Brazil." : Latin 1. the language of ancient Rome and its empire, widely used historically as a language of scholarship and administration. 2. a native or inhabitant of a country whose language developed from Latin, especially a Latin American. music of a kind originating in Latin America, characterized by dance rhythms and extensive use of indigenous percussive instruments. "eclectic jazz through Latin into soulful grooves" adjective: Latin 1. relating to or in the Latin language. "Latin poetry" relating to the Western or Roman Catholic Church (as historically using Latin for its rites). "the Latin patriarch of Antioch" relating to ancient Latium. 2. relating to the countries or peoples using languages, especially Spanish, that developed from Latin. What are the 5 races of humans? (Black) race. Australoid (Australian Aborigine and Papuan) race. Capoid (Bushmen/Hottentots) race. Mongoloid (Oriental/Amerindian) race. Caucasoid (White) race. Capeche? Understand? Got it yet?

  1904. PURE PROPAGANDA BS from people like you. Italy fought as bravely and in instances BETTER than the cowardly Nazi's who retreated in N. Africa and Russia leaving the Italians behind. 1. Italy conquered 5 countries, was awarded the territory they won in France, and won the Spanish civil war vs. the Communist. Italy was the 3rd best performing European country of the war and their Empire was LARGER than the Nazi's. 2. Just TWO examples: "Not only should Tunisia have exploded the myth of Hitler's military acumen, it should have discredited the idea that Germans fought better than the Italians, since Messe's 1st Italian Army held out longer than Arnim's 5th German Army and the DAK, even both groups had about six divisions and faced roughly equal Anglo-American forces. Indeed, Hermann Goring division was the first to be scattered on 7 May, DAK the next to break and surrender on 9 May, with the Italian Spezia division closing the gap created by the German collapse and watching still combat-efficient German units march off into captivity on 11 May. Whether it is significant that the German 90th Light division was the first to collapse in Messe's 'Italian' Army, there is no doubt that the Italians fought well and held out longest in Tunisia." (The Second World War: The German War 1939-1942, Jeremy Black, Page 265, Ashgate, 2007)” “On June 7, 1942, infantry of the Italian X Corps saved Rommel’s 15th Brigade near Gazala, in North Africa, from otherwise certain annihilation. These and numerous other disclosures combine to debunk lingering propaganda stereotypes of the inept, ineffectual Italian armed forces and their allegedly inept commanders and supreme leader. That dated portrayal is rendered obsolete by a true-to-life account of the men and weapons of Mussolini’s War: Volume 1—The Triumphant Years.”

  2190.  @ms.annthrope415  BALONEY PROPAGANDA...without Italy, Germany would have surrendered 1-2 years earlier, especially if Italy had allied with the Allies, Germany didn't stand a chance. Italians MADE Rommel and won in the Balkans, N. Africa and aided in Russia but never given credit. Just two examples of many: "Not only should Tunisia have exploded the myth of Hitler's military acumen, it should have discredited the idea that Germans fought better than the Italians, since Messe's 1st Italian Army held out longer than Arnim's 5th German Army and the DAK, even both groups had about six divisions and faced roughly equal Anglo-American forces. Indeed, Hermann Goring division was the first to be scattered on 7 May, DAK the next to break and surrender on 9 May, with the Italian Spezia division closing the gap created by the German collapse and watching still combat-efficient German units march off into captivity on 11 May. Whether it is significant that the German 90th Light division was the first to collapse in Messe's 'Italian' Army, there is no doubt that the Italians fought well and held out longest in Tunisia." (The Second World War: The German War 1939-1942, Jeremy Black, Page 265, Ashgate, 2007)” “On June 7, 1942, infantry of the Italian X Corps saved Rommel’s 15th Brigade near Gazala, in North Africa, from otherwise certain annihilation. These and numerous other disclosures combine to debunk lingering propaganda stereotypes of the inept, ineffectual Italian armed forces and their allegedly inept commanders and supreme leader. That dated portrayal is rendered obsolete by a true-to-life account of the men and weapons of Mussolini’s War: Volume 1—The Triumphant Years.”

  2499.  @HistoryHustle  Italian participation in the Spanish conflict from July 1936 and March 1939 had three major consequences: First. Italian aid to the Nationalists played a major role in their victory — possibly the decisive role. Furthermore, the high level of Italian assistance to the Nationalists was crucial in bringing the downfall of the Second Republic prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. This prevented any rescue of the Republic by the French, as might have occurred lad it survived until September 1939. Second. The diplomatic and political consequences of Italian involvement in the war gravely hindered any post-Ethiopian War reconstruction of the anti-German Stresa Front. In particular, Italian and French aid to opposite sides in the Civil War made a rapprochement between Rome and Paris virtually impossible. Instead, the de facto Mussolini-Hitler alliance in support of the Nationalists led directly to the formation of the Rome-Berlin Axis in October 1936 and contributed significantly to the May 1939 Italian-German military alliance known as the Pact of Steel. In turn, the Pact of Steel gave Hitler the confidence to attack Poland in September 1939, initiating the outbreak of World War II. Third. The Italian Army and Air Force were significantly drained by their heavy material support to the Nationalist and the involvement of significant Italian ground and air units in the Civil War. To a lesser degree, the Italian Navy also suffered from its participation in the conflict. The resultant military weaknesses were a major factor in persuading Mussolini to proclaim Italian “non-belligerence” in September 1939. More significantly, after the defeat of France persuaded Mussolini to intervene in the European conflict in June 1940, the continuing debilities of the Italian forces due to their participation in the Spanish war contributed to the disasters suffered by Italian arms in 1940-41.

America won independence on it's own, try again 🤡They were aided by France, Spain, the Dutch and even Italians, Germans and more🤡The Soviet Union was formed by a coalition of many states that were powers at the time, Germans formed a unified coalition BUT Italy were many states that had been fighting civil wars for many years.. Depleted fighting and conquering over 25 years winning a foreigners civil war for them 🤡 Yep, Lend-Lease Act started 9/'40 only reason they won Operation Compass. Run out of Ethiopia when, after massive Allied help to Britain🤡until then in control for 5 YEARS🤡 Annexed after an Allied coalition was needed not until then🤡 Yes and Britain was on the brink of defeat, surrendering in Singapore, smashed at the Battle of Britain, losing in N. Africa, only survived because of Hitlers stupidity by not finishing the job, British generals admitted they would have lost the war if the battle continued even a few weeks more. Churchill then went crying to America, Britain was bankrupt and America, Commonwealths, India saved them. French saved their army at Dunkirk, there's a video on it. 😝😝 Brits ran in Greece and Greeks complained they weren't getting the supplies requested, promised. Greeks were ONE month from defeat when Germans arrived and Hitler said it was an ITALIAN victory...keep repeating/BS, parrot. And it was the Italians who made Rommel 🤡

  2614.  @dillonblair6491  Who won the Ethiopian war and occupied it for 5 years only losing to Allied forces?? EVERY power lost battles, Italy lost 1 battle in EACH war, THAT'S IT. You think depopulated means every Italian was removed from the peninsula??? BAHAHAHA What utter/BS. aND THESE DEFEATS WERE AT THE VERY TAIL END OF A 1000 year empire, THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL...SO W T F is your point? Every Empire has ultimately failed, defeated. Italy was at war over 25 years BUD before the start of WW II, THEY TOOK CONTROL OF lIBYA IN 1915 then went on to conquer the rest. Russia was a conglomerate of many ethnics, states just stop the semantic/BS Britain was winning only in their sphere of conquered colonies, up until '40 they had fled Libya or did not contest in the other Italian conquests. So the Lend Lease act only affected Britain against Germany, how did that work, every piece of equipment sent said use vs Germany only? 🤣That aid directly affected Operation Compass which started just 4 months after aid. Not struggling vs Italy?, see my other comments DUDE. Hitlers aid in N. Africa was as much a hindrance as aid because of German blunders, everything Italy had won up to that point was done by Italy ALONE..ZERO German help. It was Germans BETRAYAL that caused Italy to be hoodwinked into WW II and that's when Italian failures started. Yeah BUD, the Commonwealths and India were under British control and it means the British had help from all those countries while Italy fought ALONE. You continue skirting that inconvenient fact along with the French saving their behind. Show me that surrender treaty that Greece had over Italy 🤡while Italy controlled 2/3 of Greece🤡. NOW, tell me your ethnicity which I know u don't have the knuts to do and we'll see what they've achieved in history in comparison. You can only WISH they have the same war record as Italy as surely they can NEVER compete in history achievements.

  2615.  @dillonblair6491  You still too stupid to realize there were NO 3 wars, but 2? Says it in wiki🤡 It states the first dispute ended in friendship (that's the one you falsely claim as a war) which later turned into a dispute again, then later into the first war🤡. So Italy lost an entire 2 battles, not 1 in the 2 wars, W T "F" is your point🤡 when England, France other colonial powers did the same even losing to tiny unarmed Haiti and fighting tribes of arrows and spears while Italy fought modern armed Ethiopians🤡 Italy won control of Libya in 1915 and continued fighting/conquering African countries, until 1940🤡, that 25 years but I forgot you can't count. Plus Albania, winning the Spanish civil war, territory in France before America started supplying Britain in '40 to save their behinds. And just prior Italy defeated the Ottomon Empire, another WIN🤡 Give me a link that says Italy was completely "depopulated" of all Italians, Romans, Italic tribe.🤡And again parrot boy, that was at the end of the 1000 year Roman Empire and included multiple foreign tribes not Rome/Italy 1 on 1 vs another power so why you keep bringing that up except for that's the only war you can ante up that shows some kind of loss for Rome and you think justifies your BS claim Romans disappeared off the face of the earth during that time. Your desperation reeks. I said Russia/Soviet Union was made up of several Russian states, you spin yarn better than a spider🤡 And those colonial Africans did little but quickly surrender as in Operation Compass when the heat was on compared to European aid are you now trying to equate the 2??? Another desperation move. Italy was initially pushed back into Albania they didn't lose Albania until the Allies helped and AFTER Italy had conquered Greece. Learn the difference and stop making up more crap to fit your BS narrative. AGAIN, Hitler say's otherwise🤡and show me the surrender treaty Italy signed🤡while they occupied 2/3 of Greece The videos I provided shows different 🤡, Italy beat multiple modern powers unlike the Brits, Spaniards, French, Dutch whose "Empires" didn't defeat one modern country with weapons or army. I knew you didn't have the knuts to reveal your ethnicity since they can't hold a candle to Italy's military or economic history. Lazy as in top 10 economy/military even today, greatest country in world history? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  2731.  @purplehairedwzrd  The earliest identifiable (pre-historic) "modern human" inhabitants of Sicily were present at least 10,000 to 12,000 years ago and many lived in caves. People are interested in the physical appearance of their ancestors, whether recent or ancient. For lack of a more descriptive term, the earliest Sicilians would be identified as "Caucasoid" in appearance. Haplogroup M173, associated with the descendants of the first waves of humans into Europe (often seen as a branch of the Cro-Magnon haplogroup M343, or R1b), is widespread in Sicily and indeed across Europe, where many English (including some 70% of Englishmen in southern England) and French share it. Today it is most prevalent (90%) among the Spanish and Irish. M173 originated about 30,000 years ago. In effect, some 80% of western Europeans living today are in this haplogroup. Though the neolithic Proto-Sicanians were probably part of this haplogroup, many Sicilians more likely inherited it from ancestors descended from subsequent foreign conquerors arriving from the North and West, Sicels, Romans, Visigoths, Vandals, Normans, Lombards, Swabians (Germans), Angevins (French) and Spaniards among them, but possibly from some Greeks as well. (These observations are only intended as generalities.) In Sicily one of the most interesting haplogroups to geneticists is the much more recent M172 (also called J2), probably introduced about 8,000 BC with the introducton of agriculture to a native people sometimes referred to as the "Proto-Sicanians." At least 21% of Sicilians carry the marker for this haplotype (probably about 19% throughout Europe), and no more than 10% of people in regions such as Spain, but it is very frequent in the Middle East, Ethiopia and particularly the Caucasus region of west-central Asia (where it reaches 90%), and is present among some central-Europeans and north-Africans.

  3301.  @beau4170  Source: Courage and Cowardice in the North African Campaign: The Eighth Army and Defeat in the Summer of 1942, War in History, 2013, 20(1) 99–122 by Dr Jonathan Fennell Dr Jonathan Fennell of King College, London has written a very insightful article about the poor combat performance of the British 8th Army in the summer of 1942. Accusations of cowardice and lack of courage were bandied about in the upper echelons of the British high command and war cabinet. Of course, any hint of cowardliness was hushed up and kept from the general public. According to Dr Fennell, the situation of cowardliness and low morale among the rank and file of the British soldier and infantryman leading to an unwillingness to fight and a distinct tendency to surrender, that General Auchinleck, “with the unanimous agreement of his army commanders, forwarded to the War Office a recommendation for the reintroduction of the death penalty for ‘desertion in the field’ and for ‘misbehaving in the face of the enemy in such a manner as to show cowardice’.” The situation was so bad, that Auchinleck could not wait for a reply from the War Office to his request that he issued a general order to his senior officers that they were to ‘take the strongest possible action against any individual of whatever rank who refused to conform to orders. If necessary, in order to stop panic, there must be no hesitation in resorting to extreme measures, such as shooting an individual who cannot otherwise be stopped’.” To back up his request for the death penalty, Auchinleck provided further statistics to support his argument, reporting that:

  3366.  @starkr111  Enjoy GUY: From Hitler’s own words: “Others among the German leadership were less critical, most notably Adolf Hitler. In his address to the Reichstag following the conclusion of the Balkan Campaign, Hitler was complimentary to the Greeks for their "extremely brave resistance", but stated that given the Greek logistical situation, German involvement was not decisive in the Greco-Italian conflict: "The Duce... was convinced that a quick decision would be arrived at one way or another in the forthcoming season. I was of the same opinion." He stated that he had no quarrel with Greece (which he had acknowledged as part of the Italian sphere anyway) and that his intervention was aimed solely at the British as he suspected that they planned to set up a threat to his rear in the vein of the Salonika Front of the First World War: "the German forces, therefore, represented no assistance to Italy against Greece, but a preventive measure against the British." He further noted that by the beginning of April the Albanian campaign against the Italians "had so weakened [Greece] that its collapse had already become inevitable", and credited the Italians with having "engaged the greater part of the Greek Army." [251] In his private correspondence in April 1942, Hitler said: "It is equally impossible to imagine what might have happened if the Italian front had not been stabilized in Albania, thanks to Mussolini; the whole of the Balkans would have been set alight at a moment when our advance towards the southeast was still in its early stages." [252] ”
