great video, you are the first person on RUclips who published the truth about this invasion, and I hope you continue to make more videos like this, thank you !! 😄👍
It's really a big geopolitical set of stories that went forward since at least the early 19th century, it's no surprise that the Kingdom of Greece was slowly put in the mosaic of British interests, as the king was initiated to freemasonry in London out of all places

@ Im not sure how many videos he made on Mussolini but I watched the older one where he tries (and fails miserably) to “debunk” that Mussolini did good things for Italy. I left a few long comments on that video but I assume he deleted them because I never got any response or any notification from those videos. But briefly the guy quotes anti-fascist literature that intentionally misrepresents every single aspect of Mussolini, the Italian labor laws for example never made any exceptions based off of party, all one would have to do would be to read the charter of labor. He also claims that the Fascists “enslaved the workers” which is based in literally nothing, and is obviously just blatant anti-fascist propaganda. But I think a better example of him acting in bad faith is his semantics argument about the specific number of square miles that were gained from the drained marshland or speaking about the idea that “Mussolini actually didn’t invent the idea of draining marshes” as if any of that is relevant to the fact of what Mussolini did (and succeeded in given that he built numerous towns and cities in the regions that he drained, Littoria or Latina is an example of a city that was built solely because of fascist effort)
@@sourpusstv7984 another interesting point is how the “trad Bosniak Muslim monarchist Kaiserboo” suddenly becomes a libertarian when he thinks Mussolini “spent too much money” and then in obvious bad faith tries to compare the GDP growth of France and Britain (industrial high inflation economies) to Italy under Fascism (predominantly agricultural, industrializing, essentially no inflation economy) He says that the public works that were pursued by Mussolini were “too expensive” and “would have been done anyways by any other regime” but it’s just entirely idiotic given that none of these things were done successfully at any time previous with any level of significance. Also, I don’t really buy that Mussolini was putting Italy in debt given that the Italian social republic which existed at the most brutal time of the war even had a budget surplus.
Around minute 39 into this video he begins complaining about Fascist Italy teaching children to walk in military formation, to shoot rifles, and for boys to be brave and manly (or “ruthless” in his words.) He then tries to make a connection to this perceived “ruthless” mindset of fascism and the Italian treatment of its colonies during various pacification campaigns, specifically mentioning Somalia. Now it is beyond my comprehension how this is connected in anyway (teaching White kids to shoot rifles means Black people die in Africa somehow) In his attempt to villainize the Italians for their pacification campaign he completely ignores the fact that various other colonial powers engaged in similar, if not harsher pacification campaigns using similar methods. The Italians are often ridiculed for using mustard gas in certain pacification campaigns, when various other colonial powers were also using mustard gas. The British for example used chemical weapons in the 1920 revolt in Iraq and were producing chemical weapons well into the late 1930s. He tries to argue that the Italians were extremely harsh to the native Africans, but he completely neglects the massive investments that the Italians were making in modernizing the colonial economies (investments larger than any other colonial power) The Italians also actively collaborated with local African rulers before and after the Ethiopian campaign, one only needs to search the names of Abba Jofir, Hailu Tekle Haymanot, and Haile Selassie Gugsa as examples. He also mocks the Italians for public spending throughout this video while simultaneously ignoring the fact that a large portion of this public spending was actually spent in the colonies in order to economically develop them.
I will leave you with this post I made of telegram Mussolini did not fill the Italian military with “Fascist cronies” It has been claimed by many that Mussolini made an effort to fill the Italian military with his own Fascist “cronies” without concern for merit. This idea that the Italian military was ran by incompetent fascist cronies is often used as an explanation for any perceived Italian incompetence or military inadequacy, and as an explanation for the Italians being ill-prepared for World War II. The idea that inadequate fascist generals were at fault for Italy being ill-prepared for World War II is completely incorrect. Firstly, with the slightest amount of research, you will find that a large portion of the military leaders were not even fascist, mostly being holdovers from the pre-fascist era, as Mussolini did not have full military powers and only received shared military powers with the king after March 30, 1938, as the “First Marshal of the Empire.” As Mussolini was not the head of state, his ability to influence the military was limited, and he was only given military powers in 1938, a mere two years before the war would begin. The challenge to completely reform the military high command was is a daunting task to say the least, and Mussolini most definitely was not capable of replacing everyone with loyal fascists, an action that the king, who was still the head of state, and who still shared military powers with Mussolini, would never have agreed to. It is true, however, that there was a significant number of loyal fascists who rose in the ranks of the military under Fascism, however, this is hardly a surprise given the fact that many of the committed Fascists were ex-soldiers (something that the fascist regime was very proud of) so it’s only natural that these former soldiers would seek positions in the military complex. However, whatever struggles that the Italian military faced in World War II had absolutely nothing to do with fascist influence or nepotism, in fact we effectively have firsthand accounts of the contrary. The most highly esteemed units of the Italian army were that of the MVSN or Blackshirts, specifically the elite special forces of Battaglioni M. These units were composed entirely of men ideologically devoted to Fascism. These elite units were filled with and commanded by devoted fascists, and were often compared to the Waffen SS for their elite and professional nature in every campaign they partook in. If “fascist nepotism” was the reason for any struggles that the Italian military faced, we should not expect this sort of performance from units that were entirely composed of loyal fascists. In fact, it seems that if loyalty was an issue for the Italian military, it surely wasn’t the issue of men being chosen out of loyalty to Fascism and without merit, rather the problem appears to be with generals who were holdovers from the pre-fascist era that had absolutely no loyalty to the regime or the military objectives of their country. Most of these generals would defect to the allies in 1943. In August 1941, Mussolini would go as far as to say this in a conversation with Hitler: ”Tell me what you would do if you had officers who had doubts about the regime and its ideologies... and who said, while you spoke about your ideology or reason of State, that they are monarchists and that they owe loyalty only to the King?” In conclusion, the narrative that “fascist nepotism” caused Italy’s military failures completely falls apart with the slightest amount of research and is nothing more than postwar revisionist propaganda.
I have a question := Why despite being a supporter of Socialism and member of Italian socialist party in early life , Mussolini abandoned socislism after WW1 ? Was it only because of allies betrayed Italy in WW1 ? OR something else ? Actually, I wanted to know the reasons of this ideological shift ?
@@SB-tp2jv Well this is a common misconception. Mussolini never “left” socialism but only the socialist party (which he was famously kicked out of as a result of their disagreements) Mussolini viewed Fascism as true socialism and he came to view marxian socialism as a ploy against the people. Mussolini stated very early on that his issue with this type of socialism was its anti-nationalist character. In Mussolini’s view the predictions of Marx were wrong and as a result he viewed Fascist corporatism as his method of bringing true Socialism into reality. Mussolini’s socialism was inherently nationalist, and against internationalist socialism. Mussolini’s socialism and H*tler’s socialism were the same in the regard, Mussolini would even describe his socialism as a “national socialism” “The accusation of inconsistency is without foundation. My behaviour has always been consistent in the sense of looking to the substance, not the appearance of things. I have adapted myself, socialistically, to reality. As the natural development of society proved more and more of Marx's predictions to be wrong, true socialism retreated from the possible to the probable. The only feasible socialism that can be truly implemented is Corporativism-a merging point, a place of equilibrium and justice, with respect for collective interests.” Mussolini, 1945

@@King_gurgler He had no choice but to enter the war. I could discuss this topic in depth but I can’t send links on RUclips. But briefly, the British used economic blackmail and intentionally dragged the Italians into the war.

As a result he entered the war under the understanding that the war was ending soon and that it was essentially a repeat of the agreements made in Czechoslovakia in 1938. The British wished to isolate Italy so that they would be able to end Fascism and bring about a pro-British Italy subordinate to free market capitalism (Churchill later admitted this was the true purpose of the war) Mussolini had two options: 1.
