Today the second video on the history of contemporary Italy has been released, and the theme of this video is "colonialism in the kingdom of Italy". of Ethiopia in 1935 and Italian occupation of the Balkans during the Second World War.
We will return to the next videos on the Etipoia campaign of 35 and Italy in the Balkans.
I make a clarification, in the video, when I talk about the war in Libya I say that "it is perceived as a success", this does not mean that the war in Libya of 1011 was a success, but it means that, the war in Libya of 1911, that had been communicated as a war of civilization, once concluded even if Italy had not assumed the territorial and political control of Libya, and therefore from a purely military point of view it was a failure (if you go to conquer something and you can not conquer nothing, is a failure), since the war had assumed, from the very first instances, a civilizing and emancipatory vocation for the Libyan people, the war was perceived by the Italian population as a success, because at least officially, the primary intent of the war in libya, it was not so much to conquer (that is, yes, Italy had gone there to conquer), but rather to bring civilization (does it remind you of something? to me yes) in those primitive places and backward, and consequently, even if they had not conquered Libya, for many it was a success.
But oh well, let's talk about Italy and Italians in the early twentieth century, it's the same people who perceived the First World War as a success
