During World War II, Italy's invasion of Greece was primarily a blatant attempt to expand Italian territory and power at the expense of a supposedly weak neighbor. At the same time, Italy's dictator-leader, Benito Mussolini, sought to gain more prestige for his country in light of the recent successes of Germany.
The axis needed Greece in order to control East Mediterranean and have a safe passage to Egypt and the oil resources there. It was also needed so that the Germans would safely advance to Russia at the North.
However the Italian defeat at the Albanian-Greek borders was a significant delay of the axis deployment, so that the allies would have enough time to organize their defenses in North Africa. When the Germans finally came to Greece through Bulgaria and conquered the country, the allies were ready in Egypt and it was already winter in Russia.
