🎈 Fun Overview: Mussolini&#39;s got major FOMO! As Hitler is stealing all the headlines with his grand takeover plans, Mussolini wants in on the action. Enter Albania. 🎸🇦🇱

<ul>
	<li>🤝 Team-up with Hitler: Mussolini was trying to flex in front of Hitler, hoping to join the Big Bad Dictators&#39; Club. It was like someone trying to show off by lifting weights, except in this case, the weight was Albania, and Mussolini was sure he could lift it because it wasn&#39;t heavy (for Italy).</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Imagine wanting to join the cool kids&#39; table at lunch, and you decide to impress them by, say, eating a super spicy chili pepper without flinching. Albania was Mussolini&#39;s chili pepper.</li>
	<li>🌍 Hitler&#39;s Shopping Spree: By 1939, Hitler had added a bunch of places to his &#39;collection&#39; - the Rhineland, Austria, parts of Czechoslovakia, and more. Mussolini was feeling left out and wanted to have a collection of his own.</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Think of a kid seeing their friend collect a ton of cool stickers and deciding they want to start collecting buttons. Albania was Mussolini&#39;s first &quot;button&quot;.</li>
	<li>🕵️ Distraction Central: Everyone was too busy side-eyeing Hitler and his shenanigans with Poland, which meant Mussolini could sneak into Albania without many folks yelling at him.</li>
	<li>Real-world example: It&#39;s like taking an extra cookie when everyone is watching the magician at the party.</li>

	<ul>
		<li>📸 Source A Analysis: The fact that it took Italy a week to control Albania, even with their stronger military, suggests Albania might have had resistance strategies or Italy&#39;s execution wasn&#39;t as swift as planned.</li>
		<li>Real-world example: Imagine trying to win a game of chess against your younger sibling. You think it&#39;s going to be easy-peasy, but they&#39;ve got a few moves that surprise you, making the game longer than expected.</li>

	<ul>
		<li>Same Same: Both indicate Britain wasn&#39;t thrilled about the invasion.</li>
		<li>But Different: While Source B highlights Mussolini&#39;s assurance tactics post-invasion, Source C delves into the UK&#39;s historical preference and changing relations with Italy.</li>
		<li>Real-world example: It&#39;s like two friends recalling the same party. One remembers the amazing snacks while the other recalls the cool dance moves. They both agree the party was fun, but they remember different details!</li>
