Mussolini and Hitler

Benito Mussorini and Adolf Hitler In the approach of World War II (World War II), Mussolini announced his intention to consolidate Malta, Corsica and Tunisia. He talked about the establishment of a "new Roman Empire" that extends through Libya and Egypt to Palestine to the east and to Kenya to the south. In April 1939, after a brief war, he annexed Albania. When German invasion of Poland came to World War II, his army was often thought not to be ready for battle. Therefore, Mussolini decided to remain "non-combat" until he decided which side to win.

The relationship between Mussorini and Adolf Hitler has been controversial for a long time. Hitler cited Mussolini as influential and personally expressed his great praise to him, but Mussolini did not place importance on Hitler. After the Austrian fascist dictator Engelbert Dorf. With the assassination of Dorfs, Mussolini tried to keep distance from Hitler by rejecting most of the anti-Semitism supported by racist discrimination (especially Northern Europe and Germanic people) and German extremists. Mussolini, at least in the sense of Nazi, rejected biolassism during this period and instead emphasized the "Italianization" of some of the Italian empires he wishes to establish. He declared that concepts of eugenics and racial discrimination in Arians are impossible. Mussorini believes that the view of the master race is "nonsense, stupid, stupid".

German dictator Adolf Hitler was impressed with the early Italian military success and tried to build a relationship with Benito Mussolini. Encouraged by Hitler's proposal, Mussolini interprets recent diplomacy and military victory as evidence of his genius. In 1939, Mussolini announced support for the Spanish fascist during the Spanish Civil War, hoping to expand his influence. In the same year, Italy and Germany signed a military alliance called "Steel Treaty". Along with the expansion of resources in Italy, many Italians believe that the alliance between Mussolini and Germany provides time for reorganization. Under the influence of Hitler, Mussorini developed discrimination policy against Italian Jews. In 1940, Italy successfully invaded Greece with preliminary success.
