Who did Italy try to imperialize during World War 2?

During World War II, Italy, under Mussolini's Fascist regime, sought to imperialize several regions, primarily targeting parts of Africa and the Mediterranean. Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935, aiming to expand its colonial empire, and also sought to control Albania, which it invaded in 1939. Additionally, Italian forces aimed to establish dominance over territories in the Balkans and parts of North Africa, including Libya and Egypt, in their quest for a new Roman Empire.
