  • The Italo-French War (10-25 June 1940), also called the Italian invasion of France, was the first Italian military campaign during the World War II. The Regio Esercito (Italian Army) attacked the French Alps and town of Mentone. The French forces resisted fiercely, but had to agree to surrender terms in the face of fresh reinforcements from the Cosseria Division and indiscriminate bombing of French cities on the part of the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force). Italian Alpini and Blackshirt units attacked through the Little Saint Bernard Pass in the French Alps, but encountered stiff resistance. The Italians suffered major losses but prevailed in the nearly week-long battle, capturing Menton and Briançon in house-to-house combat, and Lablachère on the Riviera Road, after having finally broken through the French Defences at three points on the Isère Valley in the final day of the invasion.
