One should understand two types of "train guys" exist: the modern Internet leftist train guys who like trains in a modern urban optic, and the old style train guys who are "make the trains run on time" fascists

Effectively, Orlando has been fully rehabilitated, his key role in the rise of fascism forgotten or ignored. - END

He wasn't elected; later, he vehemently opposed the signing of the 1947 peace treaty, and just before his death opposed the return to the fascist electoral law in 1953.

After the fall of Mussolini he supported Badoglio, notably putting "the war [against the allies] continues" in the announcement of the fall of fascism; later briefly again President of the Chamber of Deputies, he was considered as potential first President of the Republic - cont

Orlando was a steadfast supporter of Mussolini, being elected on his "national super-list" in 1924, and only went to the opposition after the establishment of the dictatorship, later retiring - though he notably offered his full support of Mussolini during the Ethiopian war -cont

In this period Orlando was consulted to form a new government once in February and twice in the summer of 1922, but his attempts failed as he was considered too fascist aligned - when the march on Rome came in October, he pressured the king to appoint Mussolini. - cont

The unexpected defeat of the liberal - fascist National Bloc in 1921 led to the fall of Giolitti and the beginning of a streak of fascist-aligned governments as Giolitti negotiated fascist support for his new government to come. - cont

- against anti-national forces that had already forced Italy to withdraw from Albania and Turkey.
President of the Chamber of Deputies between 1919 and 1920, Orlando became part of a "liberal triumvirate" of Giolitti, himself and de Nicola as liberals reunited around Giolitti - cont

Indeed, the Fiume Endeavour happened exactly to avoid a settlement with the slavs which would inevitably lead to the loss of Fiume and Dalmatia. The fiercely nationalist Orlando supported keeping both, and came to see fascism as a necessary force of reaction - cont

It should be noted that by this point Italy already controlled Dalmatia, and had Orlando not tried to use this as a bargaining chip to take Fiume as well it might have remained Italian; instead, Italian forces attempted to illegally occupy both after diplomacy failed - cont

He decided to take Italy out of Versailles, which was essential in building the fascist myth of "mutilated victory". Distrustful of western allies and new democratic forces, after the fall of his cabinet he became aligned with forces who wouldn't compromise national unity - cont

This was the peak of his political career; during the Versailles conference it became clear he was not cut for foreign diplomacy, and though the French and Wilson were Slavophiles, Orlando's own incompetence was key in Italy getting very little out of Versailles - cont
