Italy surrendered to the Allies and joined them immediately before the Allied invasion of 1943.

The Soviet fear of capitalism intensified after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, which established a communist regime opposed to capitalist principles. This fear was further heightened during the Cold War, particularly after World War II, as the U.S. emerged as a capitalist superpower, promoting democratic values and economic competition. The ideological conflict between capitalism and communism shaped global politics, leading to mutual distrust and military tensions. The fear of capitalist encroachment continued until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
