When Italy Invaded France in 1940 — and Everything Went Wrong

Описание: #WorldWar2,#WWII,#HistoryShorts,#WarHistory,#ItalyWW2,#AxisPowers,
In June 1940, Italy launched a sudden attack on France, hoping for a quick victory while Europe was already in chaos. Instead, the operation exposed poor planning, harsh terrain, and unprepared troops — turning the invasion into one of the most overlooked failures of World War II.

This short history documentary breaks down why Italy’s 1940 assault on France collapsed, despite favorable timing and numerical strength. In just 38 seconds, it explains how weather, leadership decisions, and logistical problems combined to stall the offensive before it could succeed.

A fast, factual look at how ambition outpaced reality on the Alpine front.
