This book examines Italy’s colonial history from the outbreak of the First World War to the first stirrings of Fascism in 1919.
Offering a sweeping account of events and a vast array of characters, this second volume moves between Rome and the Alps, Libya, East Africa and beyond to tell of an Italy struggling to profile itself as an empire while it fought out the First World War. It recounts how Italy clung on in Africa with anti-colonial forces triumphing in Libya and threatening in Eritrea and Somalia, and how finally emerging victorious in Europe, it hoped to reap the rewards of victory on the colonial front.
This volume is of great value to students and scholars alike interested in Italian, European, African and colonial history.
