Way of Our Fathers: Italy Beginning of 1900’s

Italy Beginning of 1900’s: Prime Minister led Italy’s government from 1903 until 1914. Giolitti had spent his earlier life as a civil servant, and then took positions within the cabinets of Crispi. Giolitti was the first long-term Italian Prime Minister in many years because he mastered the political concept of trasformismo by manipulating, coercing and bribing officials to his side. The Italo-Turkish War of 1911–1912 was the first in history in which air attacks (carried out here by dirigible airships) determined the outcome.(Wikipedia)
