In questo giorno, 80 anni fa, l’Italia è stata liberata dal nazista

W

80 years later, still fascists crying that “this is a divisive celebration”, “this is only a communist celebration”, “criminal partisans” and many other snowflakes’ lines

And then Portugal’s fascist party did a 2 day mourning for Hitler, it was the only country in the world to do so
Edit: Lol, idk why people are downvoting, I’m Portuguese and that’s a known fact

And then somebody put pineapple on a pizza…

We are your brothers,
children of these hills.

They asked us for our lives—
we had little more to give,
but we gave it all the same,

so that you could go on hoping
for a more human world.

Do not offer us only prayers,
but your rage,
a fierce rage

against anyone who would once again
set man against man.

Very odd title considering that Fascism is an Italian creation, and the role of Italy and Italians in the rise of Nazism and the war

# Nazi-“Fascism”

Fascim was the italian type of goverment, Sozialism was the german one ^,^

Mussolini ruled Italy for about 21 years, from 1922 to 1943.

Here’s the timeline:

October 1922: Mussolini came to power after the March on Rome, where the Fascist Party pressured King Victor Emmanuel III to appoint him as Prime Minister.

1925–1926: He gradually dismantled democratic institutions and established a dictatorship, calling himself Il Duce (“The Leader”).

July 25, 1943: Mussolini was removed from power by the Grand Council of Fascism and arrested by order of the king.

After his fall, Italy switched sides in World War II (as we mentioned before), and Nazi Germany rescued him and made him head of the Italian Social Republic in northern Italy (1943–1945), but that was just a puppet regime, and his power was limited.

So in summary:

Official rule over Italy: October 1922 – July 1943 → 21 years

Figurehead of Nazi-backed puppet state: 1943–1945 → Not really sovereign rule

Yes, the Nazis **did occupy parts of Italy**, but it happened **after Mussolini was overthrown** in 1943.

Here’s the sequence of events:

1. **Mussolini falls from power (July 1943):** After a series of military defeats and growing discontent, Mussolini was deposed and arrested by the Italian king, **Victor Emmanuel III**. A new Italian government was formed under **Marshal Badoglio**, which began secret talks with the Allies.
2. **Italy switches sides (September 1943):** Italy signed an **armistice with the Allies**, effectively leaving the Axis and switching sides in the war. This angered Hitler.
3. **Nazi Germany invades and occupies Northern and Central Italy:** In response, Hitler launched **Operation Achse**, a military campaign to disarm Italian forces and take control of strategic areas. German troops quickly **occupied northern and central Italy**.
4. **Mussolini returns as a puppet leader (Italian Social Republic):** German commandos **rescued Mussolini** from prison and installed him as the head of the **Italian Social Republic** (also called the **Republic of Salò**)—a Nazi puppet state in northern Italy.
5. **German occupation lasts until 1945:** The Nazis maintained control of northern Italy while fighting the Allies and Italian partisans until the **spring of 1945**, when the Germans surrendered in Italy and Mussolini was captured and executed by Italian partisans.

So yes, **the Nazis occupied Italy**, but only **after Italy broke away from the Axis**, and it was mostly **northern and central Italy** that they controlled.

Just to elect neo-fascist into government again – so how is that for ironic. But Italia will survive – it´s a wonderful nation full of great people – or a great nation full of wonderful people – makes sense either way .-)
