Italy is considered by many to be the fourth most powerful country in the post-[[World War II|WW2]] world. In many ways a "lesser among equals" during the war, having a terrible start, the Italian Empire came out of the war a force to be reckoned with. Italy became a country only on March 18, 1861, after the Second War of Independence, where the armies of the Kingdom of Sardinia, along with France, conquered Lombardy from the Austrians, and the subsequent dissolution of all kingdoms allied to Austria in central Italy. And thus the Kingdom of Italy was born, with Sardinian king Victor Emmanuel II becoming King. The young nation however, was troubled from the start, and after the infamous "''Vittoria Mutilata''" in WWI, Benito Mussolini and his National Fascist Party seized power in the March on Rome in October 1922. After seizing complete power, Mussolini would embark on a radical development of the nation, promising the people to bring back the past glory of Rome. After the Second Italo-Ethiopian War in 1936, "Il Duce" declared the Italian Empire. After a difficult start in WW2, the Italians, with help from the Germans, would modernize their Army and it's tactics. Now, in the aftermath of the war, the Italian Empire is at the helm of the [[Triumvirate]], an alliance led by the three Mediterranean Axis members to combat against German aggression, Italy, [[Republic of Turkey|Turkey]] and the [[Iberian Union]] (plus their various colonies, client states and independent allies). The first fascist state, Italy is led by Mussolini's successor, his son in-law, [[Gian Galeazzo Ciano]].

== Geography ==
Italy controls a large empire with vast territory, however its heartland is located on the Italian peninsula in Southern Europe, in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea. Italy borders many other countries in Europe, as well as via its colonial possessions. In Europe, Italy is bordered by [[France]] to its west, [[Burgundy]] to its northwest [[Switzerland]] and [[Germany]] to its north, and [[Croatia]], [[Montenegro]], and [[Albania]] to its east. Through the islands it owns in the Aegean Sea, it has a maritime border with [[Turkey]]. In Africa, it has colonial borders with German Africa and French Africa, as well as [[Egypt]]. Its colonies in the Near East border [[Turkey]], [[Syria]], [[Iraq]], [[Saudi Arabia]], and [[Oman]].
=== The Italian Empire ===
Though often used to refer to the entire country and its territories, the title of Kingdom of Italy refers only to the core lands of Italy. So, the term Italian Empire has been used to refer to all the territories controlled by the King and Duce in Rome. Alongside the Kingdom of Italy itself, the Italian Empire includes:
* the Kingdom of Albania
* the [[Kingdom of Croatia]]
* the [[Kingdom of Montenegro]]
* Italian Libya
* the Ethipian Empire (as part of [[Italian East Africa]])
* the Kingdom of Tunisia
* the [[Kingdom of Egypt]]
* the [[Governatorato del Levante|Italian Levant territories]]
* the [[Governatorato del Golfo|Italian Gulf territories]]
