Violations of the neutrality of American ships

<span>1. California does not deserve a seat in the United Nations. </span>
<span>2. The UN is only for nations; people in California are US citizens; they do not have a culture nor a culture that is exclusive to the rest of the US. In this sense, California is not a nation. (this is the definition of a nation bit.) </span>

2: one month after Italy surrendered to Allied forces, it declared war on Nazi Germany, its onetime Axis powers partner. Italy was led into the war by Benito Mussolini, the fascist prime minister who had formed an alliance with Nazi Germany in 1936!
