Скачать или смотреть How did Italy Fail to Invade Greece? | Historical stories for sleep

In late 1940, as Europe burned in war, Benito Mussolini sought to prove the power of his “New Roman Empire” by invading Greece — a campaign he boasted would end within weeks. Instead, Italian troops found themselves trapped in freezing mountains, undone by harsh terrain, relentless weather, and the unshakable courage of the Greek defenders. The peaks of Epirus became a graveyard for fascist ambition, and the courage of ordinary Greeks echoed the spirit of a “modern Thermopylae.”

“The Invasion of Greece, 1940 – When Mussolini’s Empire Froze and Fell” takes you through that forgotten front:

Why did Mussolini choose Greece as his “easy victory”?

How did under-equipped Greek farmers and soldiers stop Italy’s modern army?
