I think the biggest Catalyst for Italian alliance with Germany was the Italian invasion & conquest of Abyssinia.

@BoxStudioExecutive Erm… …you’re the one who brought up this idea that the wall st bankers went to congress and lobbied the USA to join the First World War. Oh and you also made a claim that Italy only got in the bad books because they tried to invade a European nation. Thus I challenged it (because it sounds like rubbish that you’ve just assumed as fact).

@rfichokeofdestiny An awful many of the Conservative Party (who voted for Chamberlain) weren’t merely pacifist (and more worried about their stock market portfolio): Many were openly at least sympathetic towards both the Nazis & Fascists. Some openly supported them! It wasn’t until early 1939 that people woke up.

I’ve been attacked and called a “neo-fascist” for trying to tell people that as bad as Mussolini and the Italian fascists were: They were NOT natural allies of Nazi Germany. In fact the fascists weren’t actually essentially racist (in their political ideology) let alone white supremacist. Mussolini was more aligned with France and the UK until 1936. Of course many people think that nazism is the same thing as fascism.

@BoxStudioExecutive Britain & the entente was never really in danger of losing the first world war. Why do you think that Germany was resorting to desperation measures? And it was France whom Wall St had leant mostly to. The bankers knew that the Entente would win. What they were concerned about was the ability of the victorious entente powers to pay the money back. Especially after the first Russian revolution. They wanted Wilson to join the entente to hasten the war’s outcome, not to win it outright.

@sthrich635 Not when you look at how the Germans treated anyone else and the brutality they gave anyone and the garbage way they even treated their “allies”…

@BoxStudioExecutive Where was the territory in Europe that Italy invaded before it was in bed with the Germans? After all; it’s accepted that it was the invasion of Abyssinia that soured the relationship between Italy and France & the UK. Which is where again? Oh that’s right: East Africa.

@miniaturejayhawk8702 Okay you say that this idea that the axis powers were late to industrialise (which in the case of Germany is completely false) is why you think the Axis weren’t the bad guys. And then you play down the extermination of literally millions of people. And say some shallow rubbish at the end which is not even relevant to your opening endorsement. A great poster child for Nazi sympathisers you certainly make…

@BoxStudioExecutive Whatever the wall st bankers thought; Germany lost the First World War when the Schlieffen plan failed in late 1914. Given how willing the wall st bankers were to lend to the entente powers; I suspect they realised that. Where is your source and some figures to back up your claim? Because London was the second largest finance centre after New York both before and after the war, and essentially entirely bankrolled the war effort’s of Italy, Portugal, & Greece, despite borrowing from wall st to avoid devaluation.

@Ghostkilla773 Ahahahaha ah wrong. It was clear that Germany were in a race against time when the Schlieffen plan fell over at the end of 1914. Even the German high command knew this. Hmm why do you think they resorted to desperation measures like unrestricted U-Boat warfare or creating a communist revolution in Russia? Aw yeh DUH. All the USA joining did was motivate Germany into their final desperate make or break offensive in 1918. It’s not like the USA made much actual difference on the battlefield…
