In that time Italy was a new, rear, unmanageable nation, people was ignorant and unripe for the democracy, Mussolini was charismatic and determined, the military regime created in the people a great sense of belongings to the nation and Italians saw in him a great leader, but it was forced (or perhaps it was a choice crowds) to a most unfortunate war.

How has Italy influenced the world?

Superficial answer: Food and vogue.

Then... if you're talking about the past culture... Italy (heart of the roman empire) has left a deep impact in the western world. Legislative work..., languages (spanish, french, portugiese, romanian, etc, etc, etc.) Italian itself, of course, is a child of latin, the Romans' language.

Why did Roman soldiers usually come from Italy?

Rome is in Italy. As Rome expanded, it recruited soldiers from Italian allies. Then it established colonies of retired soldiers on land it took in Spain, North Africa, Gaul and eastern Europe.and as citizens, their progeny became eligible to serve.

Why don't Italians speak Latin?

For the same reason that British people don't speak Old English.

Much of Southern Europe spoke Latin 2000 years ago, due to conquest by the Roman empire. But, like any language will do over time, the words and structure gradually changed over the centuries, until the language could no longer be called "Latin". Of course, after the Roman empire fell apart, there was on controlling authority to ensure that the language changed in the same way over the entire range of Latin-speaking areas.

So, in France, Latin evolved into French. In Spain, it evolved into Spanish. And in Italy, it evolved into Italian. But that's an oversimplification. In reality, there were THOUSANDS of different dialects that evolved from the Latin parent language. Most of those in France were similar enough that they could all be lumped together and called "French". Ditto for Spanish and Italian. But I don't want you to get the impression that there is some huge diversion between Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish. Even after 2000 years, the languages are STILL similar enough that a French speaker who had never been exposed to Spanish would be able to understand at least the general meaning of something said by a Spanish speaker.

Just like Latin, Old English changed over time, to the point where it could no longer be called "Old English". Technically, that's not true. Before it evolved, there was no "New" English, so Old English was simply called "English". But, however you call it, it evolved over time to the point where it could no longer be called the same language. So linguists started calling it "Old English", because no one spoke it anymore, and called the new language "English".

But because English, both new and old, was confined to a small area compared to Latin, its evolution did not diverge as greatly as Latin's did. So the linguists didn't have to split it like the split up the languages that evolved from Latin.

But it's still the same principle. Languages change over time, and at some point, the change is so great that you can't call it the same language anymore. A comment that has nothing to do with the question but instead nitpicks at a minor part of the above answer without quite contradicting itSome of what was said is true, but not all of it, i know Italian since i was a child because my father is Italian/eritrean. and my mother's background is from basque country/ scot. my mother learned french recently due to courses and french is hard for me to understand with the exception of a handful of words.

French is a mixture of latin/gothic/Celtic/German. the name France comes the germanic tribe named the franks. i also know intermediate spanish. Spanish is a combo of Iberian, latin, Arabic, Carthage, and visigoth.if you listen carefully you will notice that much of spanish or i should say castilian which is more appropriate sounds a little like Arab.

I have seen certain spanish last names that are named after cities in Arabia or morocco. we called it spanish by mistake, Spain has more than one language just like the USSR once did. i would say spanish has 35% of Italian words.

Italy is in the middle of everything so their culture is different. but portuguese is about 78% like spanish. big difference. perhaps the enclosing that Spain has over Portugal. lets not forget the eastern European countries such as Romania/ moldova, who too speak a "latin" language.

But there more like the old soviet nations. the roman empire stretched from the Persian gulf/red sea to Scotland Netherlands so all those lands had some roman influence in some way. look at the word English, which is from angle which derived from latin meaning angoli(angulus)English had much influence from the normans who spoke french. Britain is a latin word. even London.

Even Germany is a latin word. if you look at Mexico south American spanish it is 70% spanish or castilian & a combo of indigenous words. we call ourselves Americans proudly in a sense. but what really is the meaning of that word? it comes from an Italian navigator named amerigo vespucci! so i guess the real US citizens are really "Italian"? before that we had no official name. it was just known as the new world. Another comment that has nothing to do with the question In Italy, the town of Faeto uses the Franco-Provencal dialect which is also used in one other place in France.

Why did Italy turn their backs on the Triple Alliance to join the Allied powers which was the Triple Entente?

In 1882 Italy allied itself with Germany and Austria-Hungary to form the Triple Allaince because of riavlaries with France in North Africa (in the Tunisia-Libya area). The decision may not have been based on a thorough appraisal of Italy's interests. From Italy's point of view, the main problem with the alliance was that the country had claims on territory held by Austria-Hungary (South Tyrol, Trieste and hinterland and parts of the Dalmatian coast). Italy went to war against the Central Powers in 1915, fought ineffectively and became something of a liability to the Entente. Although nominally one of the "Big Four" at the peace conferences, Italy got very little. Worse still, by the end of WW1 it was suffering from severe inflation and labour unrest. Church and state were at loggerheads and there was widespread fear of Bolshevism. Italy had won a war that it couldn't afford to fight. In 1922 Mussolini and his Fascists seized power.

What nations were occupied by Italy during World War 2?

Italy failed in the vast majority of her campaigns. Italy tried to invade Albania and the Balkans with no success, although it did have possessions in Ethiopia at the time. In fact, the German army essentially occupied Italy.

The Soviet Union on the other hand had much more success and many more invasions. Before 1942 and war with Germany, the Soviets invaded Finland to try and create a bufferzone around Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) which, although successful, was managed horribly and resulted in horrendous losses for the Soviets. Then cooperating with the Nazis, the Soviets invaded and occupied Poland 1941-1942. After Stalingrad and the turn of the tide, the Soviets essentially invaded every Eastern European, Baltic, and Balkan country with a few exceptions: Yugoslavia and Greece (Russian forces were almost everywhere, but neither of these two countries remained occupied by Russian forces and/or under Moscow's control). It was also the Soviets who took Vienna and the city was actually divided the same way Berlin was, but in exchange for Soviet withdrawal from Austria, the West promised to pull its forces out of Czechoslovakia (American forces had liberated Plzen). The last great conquest for the SoProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 ets was Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 e invasion of Germany itself. All of what would become the DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Repubilc: German Democratic Republic) was taken by the Soviets Also, near the end of the war in the Pacific, Russian forces did attack and take positions in Manchuria and North Korea, which was appropriately divided up into Soviet and US controlled zones. The Soviets ob

Is Italy limited or unlimited government?

Benito Mussolini's form of governing was unlimited governing just as all fascist ruling is in any country. The fascist leader can enact any rule he feels like enacting and he can personally have someone killed or punished according to his ideals for merely disobeying his rules. Example: Hitler and Stalin killed at willed, fired people at will and made their own rules at will. As of yet there have been no female fascist rulers with unlimited governing powers. Mussolini was finally seized and executed by the Italian general populace.
