Answer» Answer: A Explanation: When the World War 1 began in July 1914, Italy had joined the Tripple-Alliance. This raged strong sentiments among the masses as well as some political factions, who wanted Italy to go to war against Austra-Hungary (Italy's historical enemy). In April 1915, Italy secretly engaged with Great Britain and France to conspire against Austria-Hungary. Italy was in RETURN offered to obtain the annexed frontier lands by the Entante side. Subsequently, Italy officially resigned from the Tripple-Alliance by declaring a war on Austria-Humgary, in May 1915. During the war, Italy lost around half a million soldiers WHILST leaving around a million injured. Resultantly, The Entante side did not stand up to their promise because they had a fair reason to believe that Italy's contribution to their victory were not commensurate with the land DEMANDED by it. This led Italy to resent it's fate after the signing of Treaty of Versailles. |
