Italy

The Romans took Italy and conquered each piece of it a little at a time.

The fascists exploited the fear of a Communist takeover. They marched on Rome and demanded for the Prime Minister to step down. The King refused to declare Marshall Law against them so the Prime Minister stepped down. The King then handed over power.

This question refers to the final post-war disposition of partitioned Germany by the World War II Allied victors. Initially the Soviet Union, France and other countries were opposed unification based on specter of repeated German ascendancies to dominating Europe. Ultimately compromise was reached and the border questions and issues of German rearmament were reached allowing for Germany being reunited. That being said Germany lands such as Danzig (Gdansk, Poland) and Koenigsberg (Kalinigrad, Russia) have not been return or reunited.

The decline of the League of Nations in the 1930s reflected the inability of Britain, France, and the United States to oppose the increasingly nationalist-imperialist and militaristic trajectories of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The post-1919 international order that resulted from the Treaty of Versailles was fragile, and the league embodied that fragility.

In the early days of the city they had kings as they were ruled by them. There is no mention of any queens. After the Romans overthrew the monarchy, they had a republican form of government and then the principate. There were no women designated as "queen" in any of these governments.

He is Benito Mussolini. He led Italy from 1922 to 1943. He founded the first fascist political group and later allied his country with Germany in WWII.

Difference in language and lack of agreement on leadership were the two biggest barriers to Italian unification.

This is only a brief, and superficial explanation of how Italy became involved in WWII. Basically, it was Italy's expansionist desires under Mussolini that initially got them involved. In order to help facilitate Mussolini's expansion aspirations, Italy signed a mutual-assistance pact with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, thus forming an alliance known as the Axis powers. Italy then launched attacks against the Albanians, Greeks, and British in North Africa. These attacks didn't go so well for Italy, so their German allies came to the rescue. The Germans then conquered Greece and most of North Africa.

Movement behind Benito Mussolini was called Fascism. Due to several factors, most notably the Great Depression and general dissatisfaction of the Italian people after the First World War, and by telling the people what they wanted to hear, he was able to gain control of the country.

The leader of Italy is generally considered to be the Prime Minister of Italy, formally known as the President of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Italy.

Nothing in principle but in practice a ghetto was an area of an existing town separated from the rest of the town and a concentration camp was a prison built for the purpose, usually well away from a town.

The Roman Empire actually split into two parts. Well Diocletian realized that this region was two much for one man, so he split it into 4 parts (total) which is referred to as a tetrarch. The western empire then died (324-476) and the rest lasted until 1453.

Public transportation is used a lot in Italy; there are many train and bus routes. Many people drive mopeds, as you can get a license for a moped at 14. Cars, of course, are also a main method of transportation.

The socialist movements position on what was becoming World War I was that it was a war for the capitalist classes and that the labor movement should stay out of it. Nationalism overwhelmed Mussolini's socialism and he supported Italy's entry in the war (on the Allied side). Many Italians such as Mussolini thought that Italy did not get justice in terms of territorial settlements at the end of the war despite having been on the winning side. After the war there was social turmoil in Italy and socialists and communists were winning control of many city governments. Mussolini organized the Fascist Party to counter the socialists and communists and, through a march on Rome, gained control of the Italian government. Mussolini ruled Italy as a dictator during the late 1920's and 1930's. He allied himself with Hitler.

Italy is actually a democratic republic but they do have socialist programs.

Italy was under Fascist rule from 1922 until the Allied advances in 1943 caused the Italian government to fall and be replaced by one friendly to the Allies. Fascism was a right-wing, authoritarian political movement with many similarities to Nazism, but was not identical to Nazism.

After the 1943 surrender of Italian forces, those portions of Italy not controlled by Allied forces were under Nazi control until liberated by the Allies.

After being dinied the land promised at the end of WWI, ITaly became mad at the Allies. Looking for a strong leader, they had Benito Mussolini (Italian dictator) run the government. When WWII broke out, Italy joined Germany and Japan so that if they won, they would get a share of Europe.

Many of the Italian immigrants originated from the South. The regions of Calabria, Puglia, Sicily, and Campania.

Octavian Augustus Caesar was the first one to openly set himself up as ruler, though he called himself First Citizen to avoid the knives Julius Caesar attracted by making himself Dictator for Life. The Romans didn't take to kings after expelling them 500 years earlier.

From around the 1800s on, Italians migrated to Australia for a number of reasons.

The first major influx of Italian migrants came with the goldrush in Victoria. Hundreds of Italians came to seek their fortune. In fact, the famous Eureka Stockade of 1854 was witnessed and documented by Italian migrant Raffaello Carboni, who called the actions of the soldiers a "foul deed, worthy of devils".

When the goldrush died down, many Italians stayed to establish small towns based around agricultural communities in rural Victoria. As the Italian communities built up, businessmen, tradesmen and professionals from Italy joined them. Italy was a rather poor country for almost a century after the birth of the Italian State in 1861. This is why many Italians, especially from the Southern regions that were the poorest ones, left Italy for richer countries (USA, Australia, Germany). By 1896, there were an estimated 1500 Italians living in Victoria alone, while others were attracted to the sugar cane growing areas of northern New South Wales and Queensland.

Italian migration continued in the early part of the 20th century as Italians sought to escape the economic hardships of their own country. The 1925 Immigration Act severely limited numbers of Italians after World War I, but they increased once more after World War II. This was due to the huge, ambitious engineering project, the Snowy River Hydro-Electric Scheme, which attracted thousands of immigrant workers from around the world, including Italy. The scheme offered high pay, the freedoms available in Australia and the surety of employment in the post-war period.
