      It could not be more clear to them. They started a war of conquest, and then lost. You have truly zero leverage at that point and are lucky they didn’t get Germany-d

      Damn, history’s a helluva thing, ain’t it? Kinda puts into perspective how every major change gets folks riled up, like now with tech advances n’ all that.

      Italians really can’t catch a break with world wars, can they?

      First they joined Entente enticed by promises of lands taken from Austria-Hungary and got much less than they were promised (which led to Italian version of stab-in-the-back myth, rather poetically named *vittoria mutilata*), then they joined the revanchists club, basically funded the Axis alongside Germany, tried to switch sides *again* to save their asses when things started going awry and still lost territory in the end, including the colonies and the empire itself.

      Third time’s the charm, I guess.
