Second World War Books Review The weakness of the Italian war economy and the development of Mussolini's "iron arm" will not be completely unfamiliar to students of the Second World War, especially those who have read Knox and Sweet. The second chapter examines the evolution of Italian armored forces (with a nod to Iron Arm by John J.T. Sweet) and demonstrates that shortcomings in industry played an important role in constraining the development of Italian tanks and armored formations. Walker sets the stage with a chapter on the overall economic, political, and military background to the Italian war effort (with echoes of MacGregor Knox's Mussolini Unleashed) and makes it clear that the nation was in no condition to wage modern war. www.sonic.net /~bstone/archives/040516.shtml   (3920 words)

helmodww2v On 9 March the Italians launched a second offensive against the Greeks on the Albania front, but despite now having 28 divisions at their disposal they were unable to break through. The Italian offensive, which was grossly under strength, collapsed when it met determined Greek resistance, and by 14 November the Greeks begun a counter-offensive to drive the Italians back into Albania. When Italy declared war of 10 June 1940 Mussolini still maintained that he had no interest in Greece, but on 28 October 1940, after accusing Greece of allowing the UK to violate its neutrality, he sent troops across the border from Albania. www.ucc.ie /staff/jprodr/macedonia/helmodww2v.html   (1382 words)

Manic Net Preacher: How The EU Advances It was this war that was called "Seven Weeks War"; and this war can be called a 'spreading' of the Second Schleswig War - Bismarck provoked it by not keeping to promises over the joint control of conquered territory; and the Austrian-Italian part of this war was part of the wars for Unification of Italy. This war was a direct consequence of the Spanish crown succession tussle after the 1868 Revolution, while the last Italian War of Unification was a sideshow to this war (Italy took its chance in September 1870 while France was unable to send troops). Three wars of Italian Unification could be called Civil Wars. manicnetpreacher.blogspot.com /2004/10/how-eu-advances.html   (709 words)

The Wargamer - Board Game Review: The Rise of the Roman Republic The Rise of the Roman Republic deals with four distinct military phases of Roman ascendancy: The Samnite Wars; the invasion of Alexander of Molossia; the invasion of Pyrrhus of Epirus; and the invasion of Hannibal, otherwise known as the Second Punic War. The struggle to unite the Italian peninsula under Roman rule begins with the Samnite Wars of the late 4th Century B.C.E. Italia during this period was a land awash with fractious tribes whose shifting alliances maintained a precious balance of power. Not until the Second Samnite War did the Romans decisively rout the Samnites, who, after several devastating defeats, continued to raise larger and larger armies in a glorious display of Herculean denial. www.wargamer.com /reviews/rise_of_roman_republic   (733 words)

Second Italo-Abyssinian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In total, the Italians deployed between 300 and 500 tonnes of mustard gas during the war, despite having signed the 1925 Geneva Protocol. On October 3, 1935, 100,000 Italian soldiers and a sizable number of Askari commanded by Marshal Emilio De Bono attacked from Eritrea without declaration of War.

STRAITS Chapter 7 After the charade at the Dardanelles, the Italian ships had returned to their rendezvous point at the island of Stampalia, whose harbour they had selected as being ideal for a naval base, and prepared for the second part of their plan: the occupation of the Turkish islands of the Dodecanese. While this was occurring, the Italian agent Volpi, with his team of negotiators, had initiated talks in Switzerland with Turkish officials aimed at concluding the Turco-Italian war. Indeed, although the Italians hoped the islands would prove a useful bargaining point ‘the Turkish government showed no great pain at the loss of such ethnically Greek and economically valueless property.’ By the end of June, the Italian Chief of the General Staff, Alberto Pollio, had determined that drastic measures were required. www.manorhouse.clara.net /book2/chapter7.htm   (5222 words)

JAPAN AND ITALY SQUABBLE OVER ETHIOPIA: THE SUGIMURA AFFAIR OF JULY 1935 Few today recognise the crucial role the Italo-Ethiopian War of 1935 and 1936 played in interwar diplomacy--followed as it was by the climactic events in China, Spain, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Second World War itself. Feeding off such sentiments, the Soviet press reported in February 1935 that the Japanese ambassador in Rome had protested the mobilization of Italian troops and had sharply stated that Japan would "categorically oppose any occupation of Abyssinia." Italy's military action against Ethiopia was, the press said, a demonstration aimed at Japan more than at Ethiopia. In truth, the Italo-Ethiopian War presaged the coming conflagration in significant ways, and Ethiopians, for their part, consider their lost war as the opening salvo of World War II. stratus.ju.edu /jclarke/wizzd.html   (5222 words)

Second World War Books: Book Survey Thus, the stage was set for a series of campaigns -- the initial Italian offensives and the eventual British counter-offensives -- which in many respects more closely resembled British colonial wars of the 19th Century than the relatively high-tech industrialized warfare which came to characterize the Second World War.

Hannibal - a biography The decisive battle of the Second Punic War was therefore, thanks to Roman stubbornness, not fought on Italian soil, but in Africa: after some minor engagements, Scipio and Hannibal clashed at Zama (19 October 202). The creation of one, big Mediterranean Empire was inevitable, and the issue of the Second Punic War was whether this Mediterranean Empire was to be a Roman or a Carthaginian world. Rome countered this by an alliance with the Greek towns in Aetolia, who started a war against Macedonia. www.livius.org /ha-hd/hannibal/hannibal.html   (2345 words)

IRAQI WAR CRIMES Confronted with compelling evidence of war crimes, they say, most governments are going to find it difficult not to act, even those governments with friendly relations with Baghdad. Loosely based on groups that track Nazi war criminals around the globe, "Indict" hopes to eventually see the creation of an International War Crimes Tribunal for Iraq, similar to the tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
