Part 3 - Cold War Crises (The Cold War)

Mussolini got super mad at Greece because he believed they killed four Italian diplomats. When Greece was like, &quot;Uh, no apology, and no money for you!&quot; Mussolini was all like, &quot;Fine, I&rsquo;ll just invade Corfu!&quot; But, when the big kids (Britain and France) gave him a side-eye, he left, albeit grudgingly.

<ul>
	<li>Mussolini&#39;s Anger: He blames Greece for the death of 4 Italian diplomats on the Greek-Albanian border.</li>
	<li>Greece&#39;s Response: &quot;Nope! No apologies and no cash for you, Italy!&quot;</li>
	<li>Mussolini&#39;s Bold Move: Bombs and invades Corfu, a Greek island.</li>
	<li>The League of Nations&#39; Role: Tries to play peacekeeper but Mussolini wasn&rsquo;t having it. He even threatens to leave!</li>
	<li>Conference of Ambassadors: Sides with Italy. Tells Greece to pay up.</li>
	<li>Britain Flexes: After a British threat, Mussolini backs off and leaves Corfu.</li>
	<li>Italy&#39;s View: Even though they had to leave Corfu, Italians were celebrating like they won the World Cup! ⚽</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Italy saw the Corfu invasion as a win. But real talk? They had to leave.</li>
	<li>Italy&#39;s relationship with BFFs Britain and France? Rocky 🧗&zwj;♂️</li>
</ul>

		<li>Mussolini&#39;s own words to the Italian Senate in November 1923.</li>
		<li>Main Point: Corfu wasn&#39;t just about revenge; it was about making Italy look cool. 🕶️</li>
		<li>Interesting Fact: Italians didn&#39;t care much for the League of Nations. They saw it as a club for Britain and France.</li>
		<li>Mussolini&#39;s Feels: Italy feels like they&rsquo;re the sidekick in a superhero movie when they really want to be Iron Man. 🦾</li>

		<li>A cartoon from the humor mag, Punch.</li>
		<li>Visual: Mussolini stepping onto Corfu with a BIG swagger.</li>
		<li>Caption: Calls Mussolini the &quot;Latest Caesar&quot;, and makes him sound full of himself, comparing him to Julius Caesar from Shakespeare&#39;s play.</li>
		<li>What&#39;s it mean?: The world sees Mussolini as an overconfident guy trying to fill some big Roman sandals!</li>

🍕 Real-World Example for Understanding: Imagine two kids in a school playground. One kid (Mussolini) believes the other kid (Greece) stole his lunch. He goes to get his lunch back, but the school&#39;s prefects (League of Nations) step in. He&#39;s not convinced and wants to leave the prefect team. The older kids (Britain and France) then have to step in to calm things down. In the end, he walks away, telling everyone he won the fight, even if he didn&#39;t. 🥪

The Corfu Incident shows us that international politics in the 1920s was a lot like high school drama. Everyone wanted to be the coolest kid on the block and would do just about anything to claim that title!
