1 agos 1923 año - Italy invades Corfu

Descripción:

The invasion of Corfu was the result of an ongoing argument between Greece and Italy.

Following the First World War, the border was redrawn between Greece and Albania. The Italian general, Tellini, had the job of patrolling it.

In 1923, Tellini and some Italian soldiers were murdered on the border.

In response the Italian fascist leader, Mussolini, demanded 50 million lira in compensation and the execution of those responsible. Greece refused.

In retaliation, Italy invaded the Greek island of Corfu. Greece appealed to the League for help.
