Italy is a country in southern Europe, situated in the center of the Mediterranean Sea. Italy was the craddle of the Roman civilization and the center of the ancient world till its fall. Not much later Italy broke up into multiples little countries and only achieved re-unification around mid-19th century. It was allways renowned, though, by its commercial and artistic importance.

At the start of World War I Italy was allied with Germany, but chose to remain neutral instead and later joined the Entente, that is, her ally's enemies. In the peace treaty of Versailles, though, Italy received so little that it felt betrayed by its new allies, giving raise to the birth of Fascism and the ascension of Benito Mussolini. France and Britain's protests over Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 alligned her with Germany once again, and as a result Italy fought with the Nazis in the Second World War.

Till it betrayed her ally again and switched sides in 1943, of course.
