@judgedread @brokenshakles Italy's collapse and fall to Mussolini and his blackshirts can be directly traced to Italy's treatment of it's soldiers, "CHARGE THAT MOUNTAIN OR WE'LL MACHINE GUN YOU."

Then constant executions for "cowardice" or "disobeying orders", and top it all off, Italy got snubbed at Versailles. What soldier is going to defend a government that allowed all that and more?
