1. Italy tried unsucessfully to invade France in June 1940. 2. Later in 1940 Italy tried to invade Egypt from Libya (then an Italian colony). They were defeated by British and Commonwealth forces and had to ask Germany for help. 3. In 1940 Italy also tried - again unsuccessfully - to invade Greece from Albania. Britain helped Greece and the Italian forces were defeated, and Italy asked Germany for help. In March-April 1941 Germany (with some help from Bulgaria) invaded Yugoslavia and Greece. 4. There was fighting in the Somalia and Ethiopia. British and South African forces defeated the Italians here in 1941. (Germany was unable to help). NOTE. Throughout WW2 Britain was very keen to keep control of the Suez Canal and routes to the oilfields in the Middle East and also to India.

The allies invaded Sicily in 44 and went on to invade mainland Italy. When the Italians changed sides the German forces that were helping to defend against the Allies, became an army of occupation so i guess you could say they invaded as well.

Yes.

Early in the war, Britian and Italy fought for control of the Mediterranean Sea and the island of Malta. One year before US was attacked at Pearl Harbor, Britain attacked Italy's ships in Bari and sunk one battle ship.

Later, when the US joined the Allies, they bombed Sicily and later mainland Italy. The railroad yards in Rome and Naples were bombed. Then just before the Allies landed on the mainland in Sept 1943, the Italian Government surrendered. BUT, the Germans took of the occupation of Italy, so the Allies had to continue to bomb rail yards, bridges and some factories in Northern Italy until the war ended on 2 May 1945.

In Jan 1944, the Allies fought for the Cassino front for several months. They bombed the 500 year old Monestary and completely destroyed it. This was very controversal decision. The Allied air force commanders realized that the role of the bombers should be to stop supplies from getting from Germany into Italy. They began Operation STRANGLE that sought to destroy bridges and railroads in order to cut off their supply line.

Italy's successful invasion of Ethiopia was one of the earliest contributing factor to World War II. However, their invasion of Greece was not so successful.
