Images and map

THE LATEST CAESAR (Mussolini): 'I do bestride the narrow world like a Colosseum' This shows how Mussolini in some way 'dominated' the world, the League of Nations showed fear and didn't do justice when it came to a conflict between a big Kingdom like the Italian one and a small one like the Greek one. It shows as well that Mussolini has one foot in Corfu and another one in Italy, so it tells that he already had Italy and he was about to fight so he could get Corfu.

THE OCCUPATIONISTS: 'M. Poincare. "So you are not evacuating Corfu immediately?" Sig. Mussolini. "No. Till the 27th 'J'y suis, j'y reste.'" M. Poincare. "Ah! I see you have the French idiom. May one ask where you picked it up?" Sig. Mussolini. "Guess!"' This shows Mussolini having read the newspaper headline Occupation Of The Ruhr as Raymond Poincare reads The Occupation of Corfu while seated in a members club during the InterWar era. This shows as well that Mussolini wasn't stressed out about about what was taking place in Corfu, because he knew that nobody could stop, since he had such strong army.

Below a map saying where Corfu is. As it can be seen, it is really close  to Albania, the country which borders with Greece, and according to Greece the real nationality of the Tellini murderers.

This picture shows the population of Corfu out in the streets, seeing the Italian troops marching through the main streets of the island. This showed that the Greeks were actually very afraid of Mussolini because even though he invaded Italy for not a relevant reason, the Greeks had to endure and even show their respect to Mussolini and his troops by doing things such as the ones in the picture to the right, attending to the marching of Italian troops in the Corfu streets.
