>italians considered this a “mutilated victory”What the fuck did this niggas want? A blowjob too? This is pretty good territorial expansion
Then again Romania was the biggest winner of WW1 and still went fascist
>>18456938For the allies to fulfill the terms of the treaty of London, yes. They were promised more territory and they weren't given it.
>>18456945by the time they went fascist they had actually lost most of those gains
>>18456969They didn’t fulfill their end of the military deal. Not the ententes fault shitaly can’t do war
>>18456945Always feel bad for Romania. They were truly FUCKED in the post WW1, pre WW2 environment.Geographically they were stuck between Nazi Germany and the Soviets. You had to pick your poison and the Soviets were a lot scarier Not to mention while you had these major gains, and basically achieved the rarely achieved dreams of ethnic nationalists by succeeding in making a Greater Romania. The core regions were devastated by the war, so your economy was fucked, and the new regions while heavily Romanian, also had a ton of minorities in them.You HAD to side with the Nazis because geography meant the allies were never gonna help you (look how much “help” they gave Poland ffs)
>>18456938>What the fuck did this niggas want?Dalmatia
>>18457119>What do you mean the allies won't let me conquer and opress foreigners in exchange for my mercenary services
>>18456938Add Corsica and maybe Ticino and it would be the ultimate aesthetics borders for Italy
>>18456938Shouldn't have trusted perfidious Albion.
>>18456938>What the fuck did this niggas want?They wanted all they were promised, obviously.Of course due to the fact that the same territory was promised to two different allies that wasn't possible, and the entente had to choose between keeping an european power weak by denying it full control of the Adriatic, and keeping an european minnow weak (rather than useless) by allowing it some presence in the Adriatic. A reasonable if undeniably treacherous choice was made.>but muh self-determinationLetting serbs rule over croatians isn't self determination you fucking faggot. Especially when you take no issue with letting italians rule over germans in Tyrol and greeks in the Dodecanese anyway.
>>18457306Why does Britain get the blame for this when it was France which shilled for the Yugos after ww1
>>18456938They were babies and wanted a new Rome. In addition to what they gained in real life, they wanted all of Dalmatia, Savoy, Nice, Ticino (Southern Switzerland), Monaco, Corsica, Malta, Libya, Tunisia, the Ionian Islands, the Dodecanese Islands, and Crete. Probably more I’m forgetting. Basically any WWII irredentist poster or territory that Mussolini either successfully got or just asked for. Picrel Italian irredentist poster
>>18457469Frogs and bongs were equally to blame, with burgers one tier below in accountability (Wilson was by far the most retarded individual at the peace talks but the US had nothing to do with the initial treaty).I unironically believe that it's put mostly on bongs because it was called treaty of LONDON.
its a dick move. you sign an alliance and then when the war actually happens you dont honor it. and then you fight for the other side.
>>18457469Perfidious Gallia doesn't have the same ring to it I guess
>>18457501>when the war actually happens you dont honor itThe austrians went fully against the terms of alliance though.Italy could only be called in a defensive war, and any action in the Balkans had to receive approval for the alliance to stand.By the 1910s the alliance only existed on paper anyway, but even then the austrians broke it first.
>>18457162The allies were more than willing to conquer and oppress the Memellanders.
>>18457483Corsica feels like the Italian version of the Falklands in the sense it’s economically a dead weight and has no real value beyond some level of strategic depth. But in any scenario that results in you getting it would make it not worth it anyway by making an enemy of a much more influential power
>>18457501Perfidious Albion tricked the Italians into not honouring their alliance with their Germanic brothers.
thread reminds me that I feel like Poland is still robbed losing all that land after WW2 and never regaining it
