The Italian Empire
Italy once had the belief that they should gain a huge territory in the world after its empire was built in 1861. The idea was supported by many, including Benito Mussolini. During that time, most empires worldwide were trying to get a piece of Africa under their reign. As it turned out, Italy did get its fair share of Africa and Germany.
World War II saw Mussolini partnering with Hitler to get more land space for his empire. However, the battle was lost, and so was the empire in 1943.
