Italy
Italy's central location in the Mediterranean made it a strategic hub for trade, communication, and military expansion. The peninsula's natural boundaries such as the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea provided protection from invasions, allowing the Roman Empire to flourish and expand its influence across Europe and beyond. Additionally, Italy's fertile lands supported a large population that could provide the manpower and resources needed to sustain the Empire's growth.

the Ottoman Empire
Italy sought to expand its territory primarily in Africa and the Balkans during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notably, it aimed to establish a colonial empire in regions like Libya, Ethiopia, and parts of East Africa. Additionally, Italy pursued expansionist ambitions in the Adriatic region and the Dodecanese Islands, which were part of the broader efforts to assert its influence in the Mediterranean. This expansionist policy was driven by a desire for national prestige and economic resources.
