Italy Gets Rejected by China #history #countryballanimation #animation

[DoktarRaven]

Imagine getting rejected by the Qings just because you didn't bring boats

[LordPidgeon]

Italy in the early 20th century is basically that kid who keeps trying to get along with the cool kids but fails miserably

[dylanbilson]

And that is why Italy joins the coalition against Boxer Rebellion.

[giacomoromano]

To be fair, 3 modern steam ships were ready to sail, but the international backlash was such that the Kingdom of Italy backed down, as we literally just went and tried to grab some land without a "valid reason." You see, the "valid reason" changes everything. (Aka, we had no excuse whatsoever to keep up a facade of legitimacy to the claim.)

[thepenguin..]

Poor Italy, never was able to become a great power

[waterwatereverywhere]

Yeah, laugh about someone who wanted to have a concession peacefully instead of threatening China...
You are so naughty italy!

[TesterOuO]

To be fair even if Italy did brought a fleet they still couldve found a away to mess it up😂

Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
The year was 1900, 'tis worth remembering
The men who lived through 55 days at Peking
T'was called the Boxers Insurrection of bloody oriental war
Against all nations of the diplomatic core
The flags of France and Britain
How they fluttered in the breeze
The Italian and the Russian and the flag of the Japanese
Then came the sound of bugles
And the rolling drums doom
And the streets of Peking were as empty as a tomb
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
The Empress of all China gave the signal to begin
And let the foreign devils be driven from Peking
They stormed the French Legation
They attacked with shot and shell
And they came in blood red blouses
Screaming shashow as they fell
The drums have long been muffled
The bugles cease to ring
But through the ages, you can hear them echoing
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom, boom-boom
55 days at Peking
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom, boom-boom
55 days at Peking
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom...

Italy did have the 3rd best fleet in Europe at that time.

[TheCrazyBrit]

40 years later:

Italy: I have big fleet, time to take malta, Britain won’t reject me because as I learnt, a fleet allows me to take anything 🤣

*A couple minutes later*

Italy: WHERE ARE ALL MY SHIPS THAT WERE BASED IN TARANTO!?

Britain: haha Stringbag drop thing, thing make italian ship go boom boom haha 🤪💥

[deathdrone]

Thing is, Italy actually had the strongest fleet in the mediterranean at the time that even worried the British in Eygpt. Literal stupidity on their part not to sail it over🤣

[dolitebalcon]

I’m not surprised since Italy in ww1 Didn’t get much and in ww2 they did not do much

[idk-cjmn]

Italy did have a fleet.
The 3rd strongest in Europe.
