Why did Italy have a poor record in World War II?

During World War II, Italy, Germany and Japan formed the Axis countries together, which provoked the world war. However, Italy, an advanced world power, is surprising. One of the two allies included Europe and the other annexed Asia, but no one in Italy could defeat it. Why?

1? Italy is also a world-class power in advance, but its industrial base is thin, capital is scarce, and there are not as many colonies as other countries. Although it is a powerful country, it is also the worst among the powerful countries. 1939, Italy's industrial output value accounted for only 2.9% of the world, less than that of Japan, only one-tenth of that of the United States and less than one-third of that of Britain. Italy was not ready before the war because of its backward capital and economy, and it was used up after half a year's exhibition.

Steel, coal, iron ore and other materials storage, the most important oil storage dried up after a year of closure, and the navy and air force could only stay at home and wait for German rescue. Italy's sudden entry into World War II was really disappointing.

Italians are the most literary people in the world, and their ancestors, the Romans, are two extremes. They can do art, but forget it, they are better than India. Compared with their former allies, Germans and Japanese, Italians have neither German revenge thoughts nor Japanese bushido brainwashing. Mussolini's fascism and the slogan of the re-emergence of the Roman Empire were so unattractive that the old people basically ignored him.

In advance, the living standard of the Italian people is still very good, and there is basically no will to fight. So we can often see Italian soldiers being captured by various kinds, not because of their poor fighting capacity, but because they really don't want to fight. Those Italians who were forced to the battlefield are eager to be captured quickly so that they can go home quickly. Besides, the geographical position of Italy is not very good. What is this? In this way, any country in Europe is a first-class power in the old days or a second-class power in the Xiao Qiang class in advance, and it is not easy for Italy to beat any country at the quasi-first level. Many people regard Italy's attack on Greece as a joke, not to mention that Greece was not weak in advance, not to mention the British behind Greece. So when Italy invaded Greece, it was beaten by the joint forces of Greece and Britain. If Italy is put in Africa in advance, it will be the first.

1? The most important point is that Germany will be a secondary defense country in World War II, and Italy will help. Moreover, the Italian fascists at that time took precedence over the Germans in capital, industrial production and transportation materials, so they rarely stood out on the battlefield. The brilliant record of Germany's super-gods also shows that the defeated Italy is too weak, so that it will give people the feeling of dragging Germany's hind legs.

Tired of watching, let's have a joke to make you happy:

It's all for insurance

Wife: "The flood is coming, why don't you move the furniture?" Husband: "Don't worry, I am insured, and the loss insurance company will pay for it." Wife: "Then I still have five thousand dollars in my box." Husband: "Why didn't I know?" Wife: "Me? I am also for insurance. "
