The Outcomes of Italy and France in World War I.

France:
The outcome of france ending the war was that the people of france got to go back to being an independent nation meaning that the war did not effect their independence which was a great success for France. Their new attitude was filled with excitement and they were ever so proud of France as a whole. The nationalism in france was also very strong and people were proud to say they lived in france. Also France went into the war looking for revenge and they accomplished their goals, so to come out of a war with your goals accomplished you are much happier then when you fail.

Italy:
Italy on the other hand had many more deaths around 1918, 600,000 italians dead to be exact. THe people of italy were on the winning side when the war ended but still the outcome was not looking to bright. Many job positions were cut and inflation occurred so people we fired and jobless. The Italians were essentially ripped off and not given what was promised to them, france Britain and germany received most of the earnings. The dishonnestnest was not forgiven in Versailles and to this day the Italians know they were ripped off.

  1. Who was France trying to get revenge on? Why? Why was the nationalism in France any stronger after the war than it was during or before the war?

    Also, France lost more men in WWI than Italy, not the other way around. France lost around 1.4 million men, while Italy only lost about half of that (close to 700,00). if you need proof go to
