Italy first was apposed to Germany's expansion. They moved troops to the Austrian boarder and where prepared to delair war on Germany if they tried to take over Austria.
But during a confunce between the old allies of ww1, France, Britain and Italy. the 3 power fell out as Britain signed the Anglo-German Naval pact. This allowed the German Navy to expand to 1/5 of that of the British. Both allied powers didn't like this so in Revenge Italy openlly agreed to allow Germany to expand into Austria.
To hinder matters when Italy was punished by the League of Nations (like the UN) for invading abbasinia in 1936. They removed all trading rights to Italy. Only Germany ignored this. This lead to incressing freindship between Germany and Italy.
So when the Rome-Berlin axis was signed this almost succured an alliance. Not until June 1940 were they proper allies.
