The ENTIRE Story of the Italian Empire - Full Detailed Documentary

Video Description

Explore the full story of the Italian Empire, from its roots before unification to its final collapse after World War Two. This in-depth historical documentary traces the rise of Italian colonial ambitions, the wars fought to establish and expand territories in Africa and the Balkans, and the consequences of fascist imperial ideology under Mussolini. Discover key turning points including the conquest of Libya, the invasion of Ethiopia, the occupation of Albania, and Italy’s disastrous campaigns in World War Two. Learn how imperial dreams shaped Italian foreign policy, military actions, and national identity—and how they ultimately unraveled under resistance and global war. This documentary also examines the postwar legacy: what happened to Italy’s former colonies, how the empire is remembered (or forgotten) in modern Italy, and the enduring consequences of colonization for millions across Africa and the Mediterranean. Perfect for history enthusiasts, students, or anyone curious about lesser-known chapters of twentieth-century history.
