The Italian Empire is the fourth most powerful country in the post-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, 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.
History
It all began with the Great War. Italy was immediately divided between pro and anti war forces in politics, as Italy remained on the sidelines for a year. Among the "interventionists" was the young Socialist journalist Benito Mussolini, who wrote fervent articles condemning the Chamber of Deputies, declaring them vile charlatans, bent to the will of the Kaiser and that they should all be executed by firing squad. For this and his general violent attitude for the war, the majority anti-war PSI kicked Mussolini out of the party. He would volunteer to join the Army, and would fight in the war until brutally wounded in 1917. After the war, he would create the "Fasci di Combattimento" on the 23 of March, 1919, at the time only with 50 members.
