The history of Fascism’s annexation and military occupation in Europe during the Second World War is that of a considerable failure of the regime from a military, political, social and economic point of view. This failure had tragic consequences as it caused death and the displacement of tens of thousands of civilians, devastated entire regions of Mediterranean Europe and changed the destiny of thousands of Italian soldiers and civil servants. Several murky zones mark the failed ambitions of the conquest of fascism to dominate Europe as well as that of the plans and ambitions of fascism to organize a vital space. This paper discusses these projects of fascism and the way the regime conceived of a future it imagined as plausible and probable.
