Italo-French War

The Italo-French War was a brief conflict between the Kingdom of Italy and the French State in 1956. It began when the Italian-supported anti-German French Rebellion failed to materialise a change in French leadership as Duce Benito Mussolini had hoped for. Seeking to take advantage of the still weak France, Italian troops landed on Corsica and moved from both Libya into Tunisia, and East Africa into French Somaliland.
The French, exhausted from the French Rebellion and now having to fight nationalists in the Algerian Rebellion, could offer little-to-no resistance. Instead they simply yielded to the Italian troops who marched into their territories, with only minor skirmishes occurring in Corsica.
