Italy

In Italy there was the first election (when women and men both voted) the 2 June 1946 and the people was called to decide if they wanted monarchy or republic, they decided for republic government, after the WWII

Marco Polo left Venice with his father and Uncle in 1271 and arrived in China in 1275, but he stays in the court of Kublai Khan until 1295. That means it was 20 years between his arrival in China to his return to Venice.

Italy had a parliamentary democracy from the late 1860s up until the years leading to World War II when Benito Mussolini takes power and raises a fascist regime. Italy's fascist government was similar to Nazi Germany's, which advocated militarism and nationalism, which are quite dangerous when a nation is 100% so.

That is an interesting question requiring some background information. Just as in Germany, Italy was enthralled by a dictatorial regime. Hitler gained power in Germany and Mussolini usurped political power in Italy. Thus, Nazism land fascism became the order of the day. Most ordinary citizens had the good sense to keep their head down during those turbulent years.

The average soldier was just a regular guy trying to do his duty and obey the orders that came down from his political masters. So, technically, Italy was a member of the Axis powers and was therefore an enemy of the Allied powers.

But, the population as a whole in both countries, as well as Japan, were halfhearted in their support of their political masters and when things started to go south as the war progressed; the Italians, to their credit, threw off their political masters and revolted.

So, Italy was treated more as an ally after they strung up Mussolini.

Usually olives, citrus friut, grapes, and grain grow well in Italy.

Fascism is a type of political regime that places the nation above the individual. A central authoritative government led by a dictator with complete power to control the nation.

It became popular in Italy after World War I, when Mussolini ruled from 1922 until 1943. Support for the Fascist movement came for a few reasons.

(1) D'Annuzio and his supporters fled Flume and Italian nationalists marked Mussolini as the leader because he had previously advocated for strong foreign policy.

(2) After World War I, Italy was in debt and unemployment rose. Italian governments after the First World War failed to find effective ways to solve the economic and social problems prevailing at the time. The Italian people looked for a new type of government to raise employment rates and decrease debts, and the Fascist party promised labor, wage, and economic stability.

(3) Strikes were common and organized crime became a problem. Especially after the 1920 General Strike, the propertied class feared communism. The Italian people wanted a government with absolute power to keep the order and stability in Italy.

The term "Italians" in Roman times referred to the many peoples who occupied the Italian peninsula who were not Latins. After conquering all of Italy, the Romans initially looked down on the Italian peoples and only gave them limited rights. However after the Social Wars, all were given Roman citizenship and equal rights.

It's because of BENITO AMILCARE ANDREA MUSSOLINI who followed aggressive policy.His main slogan before the nations were "Italy must expand or perish".He joined with Hitler ROME-BERLIN-TOKYO axis's thus Italy entered ww2.This entry made Italy so weak and lost its possessions of overseas territories.

Roman Italy invented the game we now call soccer or football.

When Rome expanded into central and southern Italy in the late 4th and early 3rd centuries BC, she made alliances with the Italic peoples who lived there. The allies provided soldiers who fought alongside the Roman legions in auxiliary troops in exchange for protection and a share of the spoils of war. When the allies rebelled against Rome in the social War, or War of the Allies (90-88 BC) because she refused to grant them Roman citizenship. Rome won, but did grant them Roman citizenship. In 42 BC Italy was into a Roman province and was joined with Gallia Cisalpina (northern Italy) which had been a province before this.

The Italians didn't take control of Rome. Rome took control of the Italians by progressively conquering them and taking them on as allies. They also did the same with the Greek cities around the coast of the Italian peninsula, and the Gauls in northern Italy.

The only aircraft that fought in Battle of Britain were British aircraft in RAF and German aircraft in Luftwaffe. The Italian Air Force was not involved.

Italy did not leave World War 2. Italy was forced to be allies with the Axis Forces when they did not want to do this. It was Mussolini who did this. The Italians were forced to fight with the Nazis against the Allied Forces. The Italians wanted to be allied with the Brits and Americans. Eventually, The King of Italy and the Italian populace were able to arrest Mussolini, try him and execute him. They then joined the Allied Forces to defeat the Nazis.

I don't think Mussolini really thought it through that far. he had some vague idea of a new Roman Empire but his plans weren't really very specific. Michael Montagne This is just speculation, but Mussolini probably wanted a sphere of influence in the Mediterranan and the Balkans. Italy also wanted an over-seas empire with colonies to bring in raw materials and a market for finished goods.

Benito Mussolini was handed power by King Vittorio Emanuele III in October 1922 to avoid civil war. He became the Prime Minister of Italy at that time. Following numerous defeats in WWII, he was stripped of power in July 1943. General Pietro Badoglio took over power in July of 1943, and surrendered to the Allied forces in August.

Sicily is a region of Italy but they have a self governing community. Although its under Italy, it isn't a separate country.

well its your mom by xan

Italy re-united in about 1860 and has been one nation, though within varying borders, ever since. The concept of 'being Italian' has been in existence since the Middle Ages, there just wasn't a united country called Italy.

The leader of Italy in 1919 was King Victor Emmanuel III. Vittorio Emanuele Orlando was Prime Minister from 1917-1919, and Francesco Saverio Nitti was Prime Minister from 1919-1920.

Italy was more urbanised, commercial and economically advanced that the rest of Europe. It had larger classes of bankers, merchants and manufacturing workshop employees The aristocracy was mainly an urban class, rather than a rural one as elsewhere in Europe.

Si

Actually no, most of them don't. Some do, but most don't. In ancient times, most Greek men had beards, but most Romans shaved their faces. This is partly because guys who don't have a lot of facial hair look better clean shaven, and partly because it's easier to keep your face shaved when you don't grow a lot of hair on it, especially with razor technology as it was in ancient times. At any rate, while some Romans did grow beards, the stereotypical image in the minds of the collective consciousness is one of clean shaven Roman legions fighting bearded German barbarians.

When one looks at pictures of famous people in Italian history, from Julius Cesar to the Medicis to Machiavelli to Mussolini, one can see that they keep their faces shaved. Even the famous Italian American men on Jersey Shore today are clean shaven. Not one of them has any facial hair. There is nothing wrong with that, some men truly look better clean shaven even if they can grow full beards. However, a good rule of thumb when it comes to facial hair is to shave it unless it's thick, and in some cases to shave it even if it is thick. If facial hair grows in sparsely, wispy, or in patches, it should be shaved. It should only be seen in places it grows in thickly and consistently. For example, the stereotypical Italian chef has a black moustache. If a moustache can grow in thick and not wispy, it is acceptable to grow it out, and shave only the wispy facial hair on the beard, although shaving the entire face is still a perfectly acceptable option.

Note that the same rule applies to balding men and men with very little chest hair. While shaving the head is perfectly acceptable for men with full heads of hair and shaving the chest is perfectly acceptable for men with lots of chest hair, they are not required to do so to look good by modern society's standards. They can let their head or chest hair grow out and look fine. However, a balding man looks somewhat disgusting if he doesn't shave his head, and a man with little chest hair invariable looks better when he shaves his chest, provided he works out and has muscles to show.

As of August 2014, Italy is currently working to protect African migrants seeking a new country. A fatal accident involving 2 Italian fighter jets also made news.
