10 June 1940 Italy officially declared war against UK and France, already being a part of the pact with the other Axis powers since before 1939. There had already been a skirmish with Britain the day before. The occupation of Abessinia in 1935 and Albania in 1939 hand't led to involvement in further military conflict. Mussolini made Hitler wait a little with the invasion of Poland to be more ready for a great war, but Italy remained quite passive until France was attacked by Germany.
AnswerThe Italians entered the war in 1940 as an ally of Germany. Their main aims were to expand their Mediterranean empire by fighting the British. AnswerWhen Mussolini saw how easily Germany was running over France and the allies in Western Europe, he decided to declare war on the Allies and gain some easy spoils. When the Italians invaded soutern France, they were in for a rude shock. They were stopped cold. Only the capitulation of the French and the forming of the Vichy gov't stopped the Allies from going over onto the offensive. Mussolini was upset by his sad performance and decided to prove to the world that the Roman Empire had resurfaced. He ordered his army in Tripoli to invade Egypt. They did well at the beginning, but the vastly outnumbered British stopped them. After this halt, the British went over to the offensive and regained all of their ground and started driving into Italian territory. At this point, Hitler dispatched Rommel at the head of the DAK. Italy dreamed of reclaiming the former glory of Rome and becoming a true world power. It's problem was that it's military was not capable of fighting and winning on it's own.July 12,1941
