Victor Emmanuel III was born in Naples, Italy, in 1869, the son of King Umberto I, Italy's second reigning monarch. Victor Emmanuel III came to the throne when his father was assassinated at Monza in 1900. He was so small that he was nicknamed the 'dwarf' by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Following the overthrow of Benito Mussolini in July 1943, King Victor Emmanuel handed over his constitutional functions to his son. Victor Emmanuel III withdrew from private life and died in exile in Egypt in 1947. The King's son was made Lieutenant General of the Realm but he left Italy for safety in Egypt. After the war, he returned and was crowned King Umberto II in 1946. A few weeks later a referendum was held to decide the fate of the monarchy. The ballot was in favor of a Republic.

AnswerItaly was only second best during WWII. Mussolini's dreams of a second Roman Empire were boyish at best. Mussolini did suceed in occupying Ethiopia which caught Hitler's eye and gained respect for Mussolini. This resulted in the non-aggression pact between the two dictators, and created a strong alliance. Mussolini was never completely organized nor completely clear. This was proved by the Italian defeat at the hands of the Greek Army in Albania. The Italians had superior manpower and equipment and still were defeated. So although Italy may have looked strong, they really had no fortified strengths and so further exemplifyied the archetype of appearance vs. reality....Prior to modern Italy, there were city states on the Italian peninsula that operated like independent countries and even got into wars with each other sometimes. These included Venice, Milan, Florence, Genoa, Pisa, Siena, Lucca and Cremona. Prior to that, it was the Western Roman Empire. Before the Roman Empire, prior to 7th Century BC, the Etruscans lived on the Italian peninsula and Northern Italy was known as Etruria. The Latins lived south of the Etruscans in what the later Romans called "Old Latium."
