@glooper-n3x Yeah, so much that Italy had a bigger Empire than the Nazi's. And they weren't sandwiched between enemies, many of the weak European countries they "conquered" had large German populations of sympathizers and they simply crossed borders to win. Italy had to travel up to 3000 miles in to Africa. Plus, if you knew the TRUTH not PROPAGANDA you would know in N. Africa, (the Italians made Rommel but never received the credit) Greece, even Russia, it was the Italians that fought as well or better.
ONE example 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)”

@zacha4812 WIKI: Italy is considered the birthplace of Western civilization and a cultural superpower. Italy has been the starting point of phenomena of international impact such as the Magna Graecia, the Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic Church, the Renaissance, the Risorgimento and the European integration. During its history, the nation gave birth to an enormous number of notable people. Both the internal and external faces of Western culture were born on the Italian peninsula, whether one looks at the history of the Christian faith, civil institutions (such as the Senate), philosophy, law, art, science, or social customs and culture. Italy was home to many well known and influential civilizations, including the Etruscans, Samnites and the Romans
