Why Italy never conquered territory in America?

Why Italy never conquered territory in America?

I wish we had Italian speaking countries in Latin America

They have settled in Argentina.

Because unified Italy was created after our own country m8

Because Italy as a country didn't exist until 1861, well after colonization of the new world had ended and even a little into the American Civil War. Columbus was Genoan, however.

That proves how only anglos and spaniards know how to fucking colonize

And the French, 2bh

Does it matter?

>Tries to colonize
>Gets fucked by anglos
>Only one country in the Americas speaks france
>Is ruled by anglos

Not really

Trudeau is a French last name.

It's a shit language anyway.

Haiti speaks French, though I doubt that reflects well on France.

And yeah, I guess the rankings for colonizing:
Anglos > Spaniards > Portuguese >> French >>>>>>>> Belgians

It's not french itself

Germany and italy got cucked out of the colonisation game because they formed so late, this was a large contributing factor to their ideologies in ww2

But they did have some colonies in africa right?
How did that influence their idologies? Pls elaborate

Because we conquered half of Italy.

Italy wanted to take more territory in africa, germany rejected the idea of overseas colonialism but instead to make germany great they would conquer russia. They both wanted land to populate their people with and to get resources from, like the british had, hence the whole mare nostrum and lebensraum things

Argentine Spanish has Italian sounds mate because of the Italian immigrants.

The only access to the Atlantic is the strait of Gibraltar. Venice tried to talk with the mamluks to open the suez canal some centuries before Britain did, but the turk conquest hindered that too, I guess.
Also some lack of luck, a Medici ruler funded an expedition to Colonize a part of Brazil but died young before the colony was effectively established, and his successors deemed the project unworthy (possibly because of the before mentioned problems).

Part of Canada, French Guiana and Haiti speak french.

If you were to go back in time whilst forgetting everything you currently know, you'd rationally place your bet on France being the #1 colonial power. Easily. Massive odds on your favor. They had more population than Spain and England combined and about the same sized economy.

But, they dedicated x1000 more time and resources to conquer le Artois and le Alsace and to build butifel palaces than to expand across the world.

Italy was in a terrible position geographically, look at how close spain and the UK were to the New World. Same reason we never had any official major colonies. Bismarck's policy as well as Germany being shit and balkanized to hell when Colonialism was a thing factor into this as well of course.

>tfw we still colonialized the New World by virtue of immigration

Get KRAUT'd Huelandia and Amerishartistan

It would have been fun to colonize New Zealand, it's upside down Italy.
Feels like dividing by zero.

It was to settle in French Guyana. Medici faggot, it would be beautiful today

Prussia had colonised South America, somewhere where that bay is, dunno the name of the country they arr rook same to me. It's close to Panama. Colombia? Anyway all the colonists got malaria and Prussia bailed out. Also, Italy had pacts to establish protectorates in South Yemen an somewhere else, but Mussolini don't want to rustle his Churkill friend

t coloniesfag

Because Italy had already colonized Spain and England in the Roman era...

This, and there were tons of italian sailors serving to Spain during the age of discovery. Some italian completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth for example.

Then were colonised by Spain in much more recent times.
>muh Rome

They are the only ones with a large mainland colony left in French Guyana.

Because Italians are manchildren who never leave their mommy's home.

America is even named after an Italian, Amerigo Vespucci. Not even Americans seem to know that.

>Juan Sebastián Elcano

You can't colonize yourself...

>America is even named after an Italian, Amerigo Vespucci
I learned this in grade school. All the kids laugh at Vespucci because it sounded funny.
