Any book recommendations related to Italian Colonialism? This article is really interesting and I’d love to do a deeper dive!

Aren’t most of the train lines still in issue in Libya built by the Italians? I remember seeing a graph of Italians in the country by year and it was crazy

Mussolini had a thing for trains, yes.

Lol, I love it how article says that German's plans were inspired by Italy and then in the ends casually mentions that Germans have been migrating/colonizing the east for centuries. GPO didn't come from Italy, it was outgrowth of something Germans have been doing for a very long time and Hitler's idea of Lebensraum was just extreme form of something Germany last attempted at Brest-Litovsk

Clearly some influence from US Manifest Destiny in the mix, too
