@@Void_Wars You got things a bit confused. After the Allied landing in Sicily in 1943, the governmental authority which Mussolini had used to replace the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy, the Great Chamber of Fascism, voted to imprison Mussolini and the King chose former Marshal of the Empire Pietro Badoglio to form a new government. Badoglio managed to sign a separate peace with the Allies on 8th September 1943, but Italian radio proclaimed the kingdom would keep fighting. When the Germans discovered from American radio interceptions that the kingdom of Italy had signed a peace, it was seen as an act of treason by German leadership and Italy was invaded by the German forces stationed there. Meanwhile, Mussolini was freed from his prison on Gran Sasso Mountain by two SS officers, and established a German puppet state in the north of Italy, called the RSI. Various army units chose either side (Mussolini or the King), and the allies of course sided with the king.

Italy was the one who was attacked by its former ally. They didn't switch sides, they didn't "backstab" the Germans, and most importantly, *they didn't attack first*. Germany did.

As an Italian: you talk about Italy in too unified a way. as if the whole of Italy had found itself invaded by Germany…absolutely not! the armistice with the allies was formed by the vice-king Badoglio, effectively betraying the fascist regime. Mussolini was outvoted by the chamber of fascism and arrested by the King. At that point, Germany invaded Italy… not militarily. more than anything we let ourselves be invaded. at that point the German soldiers free Mussolini, who is forced by Hitler to found the Italian Social Republic, a German puppet. at this point, therefore, it is not ITALY that is fighting Germany, but it is FASCISM (under German control) in Northern Italy, that is fighting the MONARCHY (allied with the allies) in Southern Italy

It's also good too remember the brazilian soldiers that were so important on freeing the italians from the fascism, they fought in many battles specially Montese and Monte Castello.

Because it was over. Italy was wise to switch sides. The Axis were doomed from the very beginning of 1942. It was only a question of when not if the Allies would win due to logistics, manpower and the amount of territory. The prolonged fighting of Germany and Japan only insured more retaliation and ruin upon their countries. Italy gets a lot of flak for quitting but they were the only major Axis power to prevent a lot of destruction on their own country and survived relatively intact compared to Germany and Japan.

Can it really be said that Italy changed sides when Italian troops are still fighting on the Axis side into 1945? Operation such as Winter Storm or in the Gothic Line are examples of RSI/Italian troops clashing with the allies. I suppose what Im trying to say is that "switching sides" doesn't appear to be the correct term when you have Italian units still fighting for the Axis - as well as on the Allied and partisan sides? Is civil war not a more accurate term?

I appreciate the effort you put into your videos, but I also I think you should consider getting a script editor to help smooth out and streamline some of your more awkward sentences.

People like to joke about Italians switching sides but at that point no one there wanted to fight the germans' war against the world. In fact most axis countries attempted to peace out with the Allies - like my country Hungary that was blocked by the germans in order to keep fighting the unstoppable Red Army that was marching right towards the middle of the Reich through these buffer states. Romanians however just like Italians succeeded in this regard so they should be considered the 'lucky ones'. Also if they had a chance the Germans would have surrendered long before 1945 however the people had no proper representation in the Reichstag and the nazi party was way too powerful (and Hitler, Goebbels and the other bastards didnt care if the german civilians had to endure the War) hence the Germans had to bear fighting to the end. In Italy Mussolini's power weakened and marshal Badoglio took his chance to save his nation. The Japanese are an other interesting story in my opinion of an emperor who would never die for his people but expects them to fight even after an atomic bomb is dropped on a city of his. He surrendered after the second bomb to save himself, not the people, but this one is debateable.

They didn't technically switch sides. The withdrew from the war and the American and British forces advanced into Italy until Germany sent reinforcements through then neutral Italy to the front line of where the Allied forces were. So Italy withdrew from the war and then was invaded by Germany to protect Germany's southern flank.

Italy 'switched' sides because it had all but lost the war and had little choice. Romania and Bulgaria found themselves in exactly the same situation and did the same and France essentially switched sides *twice*, although as she had been largely disarmed by the Germans, was unable to take an active role so remained nominally neutral. This is before one considers the fact that Italy essentially split in two, and only one of those 'halves' switched sides. Only one nation in Europe can be said to have 'freely' chosen to switch sides, and that is Finland. Originally on the Axis side against the Soviets, Finland made a separate peace with Russia and turned on their former allies.

It wasn't quite so simple. When the Allies entered Sicily many Sicilians wanted the Allies to win. There was actually a movement to have Sicily become a State in the US.Sounds silly now but members of my family supported that. When Italy declared war on America the Italians said, "Abbiamo dechiarato guerra contra paradiso". We have just declared war against paradise. Remember many millions of Italians and their children lived in America and more than a million Italian Americans, including my uncles swerved in the American military.

@@trajan75 I think you underestimate Italy's military position at that stage. While only Sicily had been lost, it was still part of the Italian homeland and had at this stage lost all it's offshore territory. Military, Italy was in an impossible position. It's failures in Greece, Russia and elsewhere had shown the Italian war machine as badly equipped and commanded by incompetent generals who largely owed their positions to their birth. In short, the writing was on the wall and Victor Emmanuel lacked the stomach, as evidenced by his quick abandonment of Rome (something that played a large part in the abolition of the monarchy) added to this. War with America was not popular. But neither was war with the UK, that Italians felt far more affinity for than Germany. However, it ultimately had Italy been doing better military, this would not have been an issue. Remember, the decision to surrender was not a populist one; it was made principally by Victor Emmanuel and the royalist factions in the government and it was based on self preservation, not any love of America.

Italy HAD to switch side to fight german invasion. Lets go through the main facts happening before the armistice. Mussolini, that had always been along with Hitler and started the war, was dismissed in July 1943, as the war was going bad. The newly appointed government realized that war was lost (Sicily had been just occupied by the Allies), and decide to surrend by negotiating an armistice. Nothing weird so far: even Russia in WW1 signed for an armistice through the new communist government, following the revolution. The day after the armistice, on September 9th, german army started the military invasion of Italy. To oppose the military occupation, after few weeks, the new government declared war to Germany on the same side of the Allies. Had the Germany NOT invaded, Italy would have never switched side: the goal of the new government was simply to get out of the war. It is widely believed that Italy betrayed Germany: it was actually Germany that invaded Italy when the latter decided to get out of the war. That said, from a pure strategic point view, geography didn’t play well for Italy as at the time of the armistice it was positioned between the Allies, that had already a footstep in Sicily and were willing to move north, and Germany, that invaded Italy in order to stop the Allies.

It's pretty simple: when Sicily and the africans holdings were gone because of the Allies, Italy signed a white peace, arrested Mussolini (who started the war in the first place) and got out of the war. Nazis responded with the occupation of the peninsula (which at this point was neutral territory), the slaughter of civilians and also with freeing Mussolini and establishing the puppet state "the Republic of Salò" (which is a pretty funny Republic considering it was a dictatorship led by puppet Mussolini). After that the resistance arouse, and Italy was forced to declare war on Germany and their Italian brethrens still loyal to Mussolini.

Italy did not ‘switch sides’. This ignorant hypothesis gets repeated over and over. The Grand Council ejected Mussolini from power and had him arrested. Badoglio and the King agreed an armistice with the allies. Mussolini was sprung from imprisonment by German commandos and instated in Salo - a fascist republic. Italy then endured two years of civil war, Italians fought Italians and Italians fought the allies and the German ‘occupation’ . Italian soldiers fought on the allied side and alongside the German army.

Calabria is known as the “toe” of the “boot” of Italy.

Quick answer: It flat out didn't, Germany invaded it's former ally whom had surrendered to secure it's southern flank, and Italy scrambled to sign treaties allowing the allies to move forces to support the Italian monarchists in the south against the rapidly advancing Germans that were tasked with disarming and arresting Italian divisions and brigades they came across. (Italy did not accept French forces in the campaign however.)

Nicely done i applaud extremely hard. The gr8 one approves lmao

So for anyone asking: in WWI Italy was part of the Triple Alliance. It was a strictly defensive allaince . If one of the three nations attacked first and it wasn't for defensive matters the other 2 members could decide to leave the alliance or support the attacking nation. In this case Italy to join the war helping the Central Powers, asked lands from Austria (Istria, Trentino Alto Adige and Dalmazia). Austria refused thus Italy joined the Entente. In WWII the Italian government collapsed and it lead to the formation of the Repubblica di Salò ( Mussolini's new state ) and the Kingdom of Italy, it wasn't a kingdom tho it wasn't part of the Repubblica di Salò, it was lead by the old king, its army was made up by the anti-fascist and the old army of the kingdom. This two new states were supported by the Allies ( Kingdom ) and the Germans ( Repubblica di Salò). It eventually led to the German defeat.
