| Description | World War II cartoon shows Joseph Stalin shaking hands with Italian premier Pietro Badoglio. In the background, King Victor Emmanuel III, standing in front a devastated urban landscape, smiles and says "Who's moronic now?" In 1943, as the Allies prepared to invade Italy, the king dismissed Mussolini and installed Badoglio instead. Badoglio took Italy out of the war, but the Germans invaded and soon controlled most of the country. Badoglio and the king fled to Southern Italy where they were supported by Britain and the United States and finally in March 1944, Stalin recognized Badoglio's government as well. |
