EMERGENZA G - La guerra parallela di Mussolini

On October 28, 1940, Fascist Italy invaded Greece. What Benito Mussolini envisioned as a swift parallel war instead turned into a military defeat, fought in the mountains of Epirus amid mud, cold, and snow. This video explores the disastrous Italian campaign in Greece, from the famous "OXI" pronounced by Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas to the failure of the Spring Offensive and the subsequent German intervention with Operation Marita in April 1941. 00:00 The Dawn of "OXI" 01:53 Mussolini's Parallel War 03:44 Old Wounds and New Pretexts 08:29 The Palazzo Venezia Meeting 11:26 The Invasion 15:04 The White Hell 18:25 The German Intervention 20:08 The End of the Parallel War Sources: 📚 Mario Cervi - Mussolini's Wars 📚 Denis Mack Smith - Mussolini 📚 Giorgio Rochat - The Italian Wars 1935-1943 📚 John Keegan - The Second World War 🌍 Istituto Luce https://www.archivioluce.com/ 🌍 Bundesarchiv (Germany) https://www.bundesarchiv.de/en/ 🌍 Imperial War Museums (UK) https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/ Music: Music: "For Kiilstofte - Dystopia" Powered by BreakingCopyright: • Epic Non Copyrighted Music ⚔️ 'Simulacra' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Uprising' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Juggernaut' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au #WorldWarII #Mussolini #GreekCampaign #GEmergency #FascistItaly #MilitaryHistory #ContemporaryHistory #WW2 #GreekItalianWar #OperationMarita #Axis #Wehrmacht #Alpini #Balkans #OXI #History
