He should have stood against the barbarians of the north no matter what. He should have heeded the lessons of the Roman Empire.
>>18628349Agreed. He should have genocided the French like Caesar did the Gauls
>>18628365>OP is obviously talking about Germany>(You) make it about the French, whom Mussolini respected as a fellow romance people.
>>18628368Mussolini famously hated the French anon
>>18628349Maybe France and England shouldn't have betrayed their promises to Italy if they wanted to keep it as an ally after WW1?The Anglo-French world has always spurned Italy, even more than they've spurned Germany
>>18628349>Sarr why won't Italy be an Anglo ally sarr>Please trust us this time even though we betrayed you last time
>>18628371https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Bloc_(proposed_alliance)
>>18628379The Latin Bloc was actually a German-promoted plan meant to weaken French influence by subordinating France to Rome and Madrid. Germany and Italy both saw an independent France as the main obstacle to achieving their ambitions
>>18628388Again, false. Latin Bloc was pushed for in 1927 by Mussolini, later during WW2 it was pushed for by Franco and Mussolini and the goal was to create a counterweight to Germany within the Axis powers. The only reason Germany supported it was that they wanted Spain in the war desperately.
>>18628389Germany actually did NOT want Spain in the war, since it would give the British 5000 miles of coastline to land on, which neither Germany nor Italy were capable of defending.
>>18628349I don't think the Romans had a higher view of the Britons than they did of the Germans
>>18628368Funny how the French are Nordicist when it benefits them and 'fellow romance people' when it benefits them. The ultimate skinchangers!
