- Why Fascist Italy couldn't cope with WW2
- Outdated, antiquated weaponry-no sand filters on plane engines
- Trying to keep up with the Nazis progress
- Depleted resources after Abyssinia and Spain
- Unaware of unpreparedness
- Mussolini's leadership
- All 3 of Italy's forces competed
- Mussolini's nepotism (friends) and putting sycophants into positions backfired
- Never achieved autarky
- Don't have the raw materials and no preparation for army
- Italians mindset wasn't for fighting
- Lack of knowledge of why they were fighting
- Length of war was unexpected
- Mussolini's promises were bluff - had they been true they'd be fine
- Italians had their own agenda (Egypt, Greece)
