Badoglio

Badoglio, referring to Pietro Badoglio, was an Italian military officer and politician who served as Prime Minister of Italy during World War II. Initially a supporter of Mussolini, he became Italy's leader after Mussolini's fall in 1943. Badoglio's government negotiated Italy's surrender to the Allies and aimed to guide the country through a transitional period amidst ongoing conflict and internal divisions. His leadership was marked by efforts to shift Italy away from the Axis powers and toward peace, although his tenure was complex and challenged by political instability and wartime hardships.
