Itally enters the war

in #war3 years ago

Italy would declare war on France and the UK in June 10, 1940. At first, Italy had no alliance whatsoever with no side but after almost a year, Mussolini decided to pick a side, some people (Hitler included) say that Italy picked that side because Benito wanted a piece of the cake that Germany was keen of winning.

Italy didn't have the weapons and armament to declare war on its own, and the allies had already offered them a chunk of Africa in exchange of them remaining neutral, but the loot that Germany had coming was too attractive. Germany had already called Italy to join the war in Sep 39 but they wouldn't have been and weren't of much help, for instance, they joined the was in June 10th but it wouldn't be until the 20th that they would mobilize their troops to France and help the Germans.

This would cause that Britain would intern every male Italian of fighting age that had lived in Britain for less than 20 years.
