In Italian history, which secret armistice between the Badoglio government and the Allied powers was signed on 3 September 1943 and publicly broadcast on 8 September?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Armistice of Cassibile
- Step 1: General Castellano signed the short military armistice at Cassibile in Sicily; its broadcast on 8 September left the Italian army without orders as German forces rapidly occupied the peninsula. Answer: Armistice of Cassibile. Why not the others: Villa Giusti ended WWI in 1918, and Caserta was the final surrender of German forces in Italy in April 1945.
