Expert Answer

Italy was reunited under Victor Emmanuel II between 1860 and 1870. At the beginning of the First World War, the country was being ruled by King Victor Emmanuel III, a weak ruler. During his tenure, Italy was backward in terms of industrial development and colonial possessions. However, Italians were proud of their past glory and therefore were willing to follow anyone who sought to revive their past achievements and superior status.
