muh roman empire larping

They wanted a colonial empire for the prestige it entails even though it was a huge financial drain

they thought they had claim to it because of the Roman days

This
In that age having colonies was sort of a status symbol and the govt felt like they "deserved" to have some

You now remember Somalia was an italian colony lol

just banter

wait what.

no fucking wonder its so messed up in Libya and Somalia

yep also Argentina descended into the 3rd world when all the italians came

Libya was fine before America messed with it
Somalia committed suicide on their own
Argentina is not third world and it had italians since the start

I think they tried some farming. Didn't go to well, I imagine.

>blaming all problems on America
cringe

Well Libya WAS fine until we messed with it, though.

Who are you quoting?

It was actually the french

you now remember they failed to take Ethiopia

dump their excess p*Lentoni

indeed :^)

its funny to see Hillary take all the blame for it when its us who did everything wrong

>Be Italy
>Cuck France and colonize Tunis
>Now control the Mediterranean Sea
>Actually relevant

I remember when the UN declared war against Libya and French and British planes immediately took off to bomb Tripoli

only half of it

more like one turd of it

They got to fuck over the turks and get an oil rich colony at the same time

Coming to france with revanchist sentiments, see you there whiteboy.

Do you enjoy getting discriminated?

Why would Moroccans and Algerians discriminate against me?
literally one race one face

Oil wasn't discovered in Lybia until after WW2, sadly.
