title="Allies of World War II">Allies</a> during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>.

The King was also motivated by the suspicion that the Count of Mordano's ideas about Fascism might be changed abruptly. Various ambassadors, including <a href="/wiki/Pietro_Badoglio" title="Pietro Badoglio">Pietro Badoglio</a> himself, proposed the vague possibility of succeeding Mussolini as dictator. </p><p>The secret rebels later involved <a href="/wiki/Giuseppe_Bottai" title="Giuseppe Bottai">Giuseppe Bottai</a>, another high member of the Fascist Directorate and Minister of Culture, and <a href="/wiki/Galeazzo_Ciano" title="Galeazzo Ciano">Galeazzo Ciano</a> (the 2nd Count of Cortellazzo and Buccari), the second most powerful man in the Fascist Party and Mussolini's son-in-law. The conspirators devised an "Order of the Day" for the next meeting of the <a href="/wiki/Grand_Council_of_Fascism" title="Grand Council of Fascism">Grand Council of Fascism</a> (<i>Gran Consiglio del Fascismo</i>), which contained a proposal to restore direct control of politics to the King. After the Council, held on 25 July 1943, a majority vote adopted the "order of the day", and Mussolini was then summoned to meet the King and dismissed as prime minister. Upon leaving the meeting, Mussolini was arrested by <i><a href="/wiki/Carabinieri" title="Carabinieri">carabinieri</a></i> and spirited off to the island of <a href="/wiki/Ponza" title="Ponza">Ponza</a>. Badoglio became President of the Council of Ministers or the <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Italy" title="Prime Minister of Italy">Prime Minister of Italy</a>. However, Grandi had been told that another general of more significant personal and professional qualities (<a href="/wiki/Marshal_of_Italy" title="Marshal of Italy">Marshal</a> <a href="/wiki/Enrico_Caviglia" title="Enrico Caviglia">Enrico Caviglia</a>) would have taken the position. On July 27, the new <a href="/wiki/First_Badoglio_government" title="First Badoglio government">First Badoglio government</a> began to undertook measures by banning all Fascist organizations throughout Italy as well as disbanding the <a href="/wiki/National_Fascist_Party" title="National Fascist Party">National Fascist Party</a> and it's other elements associated with it. </p><p>The appointment of Badoglio did not change the position of Italy as Germany's ally in the war. However, many channels sought a peace treaty with the Allies. Meanwhile, <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a> sent several divisions south of the <a href="/wiki/Alps" title="Alps">Alps</a>, officially to help defend Italy from Allied landings but really to control the country. </p><p>Three Italian generals (including <a href="/wiki/Brigade_General" class="mw-redirect" title="Brigade General">Brigade General</a> <a href="/wiki/Giuseppe_Castellano" title="Giuseppe Castellano">Giuseppe Castellano</a>) were separately sent to <a href="/wiki/Lisbon" title="Lisbon">Lisbon</a> to contact Allied diplomats. However, to open the proceedings, the Allies had to determine who was the most authoritative envoy, and the three generals had started to quarrel about who had the highest authority. In the end, Castellano was admitted to speak with the Allies at the British Embassy to set the conditions for the armistice of <a href="/wiki/Fascist_Italy" title="Fascist Italy">Italy</a>. Among the representatives of the Allies were the British Ambassador to <a href="/wiki/Portugal" title="Portugal">Portugal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sir_Ronald_Hugh_Campbell" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Ronald Hugh Campbell">Sir Ronald Hugh Campbell</a>, and two senior officers sent by <a href="/wiki/Dwight_Eisenhower" class="mw-redirect" title="Dwight Eisenhower">Dwight Eisenhower</a>: major-general <a href="/wiki/Walter_Bedell_Smith" title="Walter Bedell Smith">Walter Bedell Smith</a> (US Army, Eisenhower's chief of staff) and brigadier <a href="/wiki/Kenneth_Strong" title="Kenneth Strong">Kenneth Strong</a> (British Army, Eisenhower's assistant chief of staff for intelligence). </p><p>On 27 August, General Castellano returned to Italy and, three days later, briefed Badoglio about the Allied request for a meeting to be held in <a href="/wiki/Sicily" title="Sicily">Sicily</a>, which had been suggested by the British Ambassador to the <a href="/wiki/Holy_See" title="Holy See">Vatican</a>. </p><p>To ease communication between the Allies and the Italian government, a captured British <a href="/wiki/Special_Operations_Executive" title="Special Operations Executive">Special Operations Executive</a> (SOE) agent, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Dick_Mallaby&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Dick Mallaby (page does not exist)">Dick Mallaby</a>, was released from <a href="/wiki/Verona" title="Verona">Verona</a> Prison and secretly moved to the <a href="/wiki/Quirinale" class="mw-redirect" title="Quirinale">Quirinale</a>. It was vital for the Germans to remain ignorant of any suggestion of Italian surrender, and the SOE was the most secure method under the circumstances.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Terms">Terms</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Armistice_of_Cassibile&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Terms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Badoglio still considered it possible to gain favourable conditions in exchange for the surrender. He ordered Castellano to insist that any surrender of Italy be conditioned on a landing of Allied troops on the Italian mainland. The Allies held only <a href="/wiki/Sicily" title="Sicily">Sicily</a> and some minor islands. </p><p>On 31 August, <a href="/wiki/Brigade_General" class="mw-redirect" title="Brigade General">Brigade General</a> Castellano reached <a href="/wiki/Termini_Imerese" title="Termini Imerese">Termini Imerese</a>, in Sicily, by plane and was transferred to <a href="/wiki/Cassibile_(village)" title="Cassibile (village)">Cassibile</a>, a town near <a href="/wiki/Syracuse,_Sicily" title="Syracuse, Sicily">Syracuse</a>. It soon became evident that the two sides in the negotiations had adopted somewhat distant positions. Castellano pressed the request for the Italian territory to be defended from the inevitable reaction of the German <i><a href="/wiki/Wehrmacht" title="Wehrmacht">Wehrmacht</a></i> against Italy after the signing. In return, he received only vague promises, including launching a parachute division over <a href="/wiki/Rome" title="Rome">Rome</a>. Moreover, the actions were to be conducted contemporaneously with the signing, not to precede it, as the Italians had wanted. </p><p>The following day, Castellano was received by Badoglio and his entourage. Italy's Foreign Minister, <a href="/wiki/Raffaele_Guariglia" title="Raffaele Guariglia">Raffaele Guariglia</a>, declared that the Allied conditions were to be accepted. Other generals, such as <a href="/wiki/Giacomo_Carboni" title="Giacomo Carboni">Giacomo Carboni</a>, maintained that the Army Corps deployed around Rome was insufficient to protect the city because of the lack of fuel and ammunition and that the armistice had to be postponed. Badoglio did not pronounce himself in the meeting. In the afternoon, he appeared before the King, who decided to accept the armistice conditions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Signing">Signing</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Armistice_of_Cassibile&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Signing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Firma_armistizio.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Firma_armistizio.jpg/220px-Firma_armistizio.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="132" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Firma_armistizio.jpg/330px-Firma_armistizio.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Firma_armistizio.jpg/440px-Firma_armistizio.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption>General <a href="/wiki/Walter_Bedell_Smith" title="Walter Bedell Smith">Walter Bedell Smith</a> signing the armistice with General <a href="/wiki/Giuseppe_Castellano" title="Giuseppe Castellano">Giuseppe Castellano</a> and other Allied staffs looking on, in the Fairfield military camp in Cassibile.</figcaption></figure> <p>A confirmation <a href="/wiki/Telegram" class="mw-redirect" title="Telegram">telegram</a> was sent to the Allies. The message, however, was intercepted by the <i><a href="/wiki/Wehrmacht" title="Wehrmacht">Wehrmacht</a></i>, the German armed forces, which had long since begun to suspect that Italy was seeking a separate armistice. The Germans contacted Badoglio, who repeatedly confirmed the unwavering loyalty of Italy to its German ally. The Germans doubted his reassurances, and the <i>Wehrmacht</i> started to devise an effective plan, <a href="/wiki/Operation_Achse" title="Operation Achse">Operation Achse</a>, to take control of Italy as soon as the Italian government had switched allegiance to the Allies. </p><p>On 2 September, Castellano set off again to Cassibile with an order to confirm the acceptance of the Allied conditions. He had no written authorization from Badoglio, the head of the Italian government, who wanted to dissociate himself as much as possible from the forthcoming defeat of his country. </p><p>The signing ceremony began at 14:00 on 3 September. Castellano and Bedell Smith signed the accepted text on behalf of Badoglio and General Eisenhower, respectively. The armistice includes that all Italian land, air, and naval forces must cease hostilities against the Allies. A bombing mission on Rome by 500 airplanes was stopped at the last moment and had been Eisenhower's inducement to accelerate the procedure of the armistice. <a href="/wiki/Harold_Macmillan" title="Harold Macmillan">Harold Macmillan</a>, the British government's representative minister at the Allied Staff, informed <a href="/wiki/Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a> that the armistice had been signed "without amendments of any kind". </p><p><br /> That evening Castellano met with Allied officers to discuss what the Italian Government should do.

Zanussi, who had also been in Cassibile since 31 August, for unclear reasons had not informed Castellano about them. Nevertheless, Bedell Smith explained to Castellano that the other conditions would have taken effect only if Italy had not taken on a fighting role in the war alongside the Allies. </p><p>On the afternoon of the same day, Badoglio had a briefing with the senior commanders of the <span title="Italian-language text"><i lang="it"><a href="/wiki/Regia_Marina" title="Regia Marina">Regia Marina</a></i></span> (Italy's Royal Navy) and the <i><a href="/wiki/Regia_Aeronautica" title="Regia Aeronautica">Regia Aeronautica</a></i> (Italy's Royal Air Force), with the War Ministers and with the King's representatives. However, he omitted any mention of the signing of the armistice and referred only to ongoing negotiations. </p><p>The day the armistice entered into force was linked to a planned landing in central Italy and was left to the Allies' discretion. Castellano still understood that the date was intended to be 12 September, and Badoglio started to move troops to Rome. </p><p>On 7 September, a small Allied delegation reached Rome to inform Badoglio that the next day would have been the day of the armistice. He was also informed about the pending arrival of the American <a href="/wiki/82nd_Airborne_Division" title="82nd Airborne Division">82nd Airborne Division</a> into airports around the city. Badoglio told the delegation that his army was not ready to support the landing and that most airports in the area were under German control. He asked for a deferral of the armistice of a few days. When General <a href="/wiki/Eisenhower" class="mw-redirect" title="Eisenhower">Eisenhower</a> learned that, the landing in Rome of American troops was cancelled, but the day of the armistice was confirmed since other troops were already en route by sea to land in southern Italy. </p><p>When the armistice was announced by Allied radio on the afternoon of 8 September, German forces immediately attacked Italian forces by executing <a href="/wiki/Operation_Achse" title="Operation Achse">Operation Achse</a>. Most of the <i><a href="/wiki/Regio_Esercito" class="mw-redirect" title="Regio Esercito">Regio Esercito</a></i> (Italian Royal Army) had not been informed about the armistice, and no clear orders had been issued about the line of conduct to be taken in the face of the German armed forces. Some Italian divisions that should have defended Rome were still in transit from southern France. The king, along with the <a href="/wiki/Italian_royal_family" class="mw-redirect" title="Italian royal family">royal family</a> and Badoglio, fled Rome on the early morning of the 9th and took shelter in <a href="/wiki/Brindisi" title="Brindisi">Brindisi</a>, in southern Italy. Their initial intention was to move army headquarters out of Rome with the King and the Prime Minister, but few staff officers reached Brindisi. Meanwhile, the Italian troops, without instructions, collapsed and were soon overwhelmed. Some small units decided to stay loyal to the German ally. From 8 to 12 September, the German forces occupied all of the Italian territory that was still not under Allied control, except <a href="/wiki/Sardinia" title="Sardinia">Sardinia</a> and part of <a href="/wiki/Apulia" title="Apulia">Apulia</a>, without meeting organized resistance. In Rome, an Italian governor, with the support of an Italian infantry division, nominally ruled the city until 23 September, but in practice, the city was under German control from 11 September. </p><p>On 3 September, British and Canadian troops crossed the <a href="/wiki/Strait_of_Messina" title="Strait of Messina">Strait of Messina</a> and began landing in the southernmost tip of <a href="/wiki/Calabria" title="Calabria">Calabria</a> during <a href="/wiki/Operation_Baytown" title="Operation Baytown">Operation Baytown</a>. The day after the armistice had been made public, 9 September, the Allies made landings <a href="/wiki/Operation_Avalanche" title="Operation Avalanche">at Salerno</a> and <a href="/wiki/Operation_Slapstick" title="Operation Slapstick">at Taranto</a>. </p><p>The Allies failed to take full advantage of the Italian armistice and were quickly checked by German troops. In terrain that favoured defence, the Allied forces took 20 months to reach the northern borders of Italy. </p><p>Some of the Italian troops based outside Italy, in the occupied <a href="/wiki/Balkans" title="Balkans">Balkans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Greek_islands" class="mw-redirect" title="Greek islands">Greek islands</a>, held out some weeks after the armistice. Still, without any determined support from the Allies, all had been overwhelmed by the Germans by the end of September 1943. On the island of <a href="/wiki/Cephalonia" title="Cephalonia">Cephalonia</a>, the Italian <a href="/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Acqui_Division" title="Massacre of the Acqui Division">Acqui Division was massacred</a> after it had resisted German forces. A similar fate awaited 103 Italian officers of the 50th Infantry Division <i>Regina</i> on the island of <a href="/wiki/Kos" title="Kos">Kos</a>, <a href="/wiki/Massacre_of_Kos" title="Massacre of Kos">who were shot</a> in early October 1943 after the Germans captured the island. Only on the islands of <a href="/wiki/Leros" title="Leros">Leros</a> and <a href="/wiki/Samos" title="Samos">Samos</a>, with British reinforcements, would the resistance last until November 1943, and in <a href="/wiki/Italian_occupation_of_Corsica" title="Italian occupation of Corsica">Corsica</a>, Italian troops forced the German troops to leave the island. </p><p>In other cases, individual Italian units, mostly more minor, remained loyal to the Axis powers.
