>Albania was important culturally and historically to the nationalist aims of the Italian Fascists, as the territory of Albania had long been part of the Roman Empire, even prior to the annexation of northern Italy by the Romans. Later, during the High Middle Ages, some coastal areas (like Durazzo) had been influenced and owned by Italian powers, chiefly the Kingdom of Naples and the Republic of Venice for many years (cf. Albania Veneta). The Italian Fascist regime legitimized its claim to Albania through studies proclaiming the racial affinity of Albanians and Italians, especially as opposed to the Slavic Yugoslavs. Italian Fascists claimed that Albanians were linked through ethnic heritage to Italians due to links between the prehistoric Italiotes, Roman and Illyrian populations, and that the major influence exhibited by the Roman and Venetian empires over Albania justified Italy's right to possess it.

>The Italian war aim was to establish a Greek puppet state, which would permit the Italian annexation of the Ionian Islands and the Sporades and the Cyclades islands in the Aegean sea, to be administered as a part of the Italian Aegean Islands. The islands were claimed on the basis that they had once belonged to the Venetian Republic and the Venetian client state of Naxos

The entire Italian post-WWI butthurt irredenitism is really one of history's great exercises in retardation. They gained more than anyone from WWI, gaining a bunch of non-ethnic Italian clay and, unlike France, saw there primary foe (Austria-Hungary) simply disappear, leaving them with a fine defensible position, and yet they still got supremely buttmad and demanded more clay based on totally spurious claims

Please tell me you're joking. WW1 left Italy on the verge of collapse and communist revolution like Russia and Germany.
