Infobox Result

Hi. I just want to know that why is the result of infobox is Inconclusive when the invasion of France by Italy actually ended in armistice? Regards from Jheeeeeeteegh (talk) 04:00, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it means all hostilities between both sides ended in armistice. This engagement is the same like in the Winter War in 1939-40. Jheeeeeeteegh (talk) 04:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jheeeeeeteegh, I for my part agree with you and had already changed that some days ago, "inconclusive" is superfluous, as it is the redirect to a part of this very article ("see afternath"). Also, the latter paragraph of the intro is too incomplete ("Between August 1944 and May 1945, French forces again faced Italian troops along the Alpine frontier" etc). It should be changed into something like this:

Italian troops extended their occupation zone during operation Anton in 1942. On 8 september 1943, the Italian zone was taken over by the Germans. Italian soldiers and partisans then fought alongside the French resistance and the Allies against the Germans and the Fascist forces of the collaborationist Italian Social Republic. France managed to reoccupy all the lost territory in the Second Battle of the Alps (April-May 1945).

The way it's written now ("French forces faced again Italian troops in 1944-1945") makes it seem that Italy was still at war with France in 1944-1945 (while it had switched sides by that point) and was still occupying an area that was actually under German occupation.2A01:E11:17:40B0:5C58:A8A6:E030:8295 (talk) 05:22, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know right. Inconclusive means both sides achieve their strategies. But this one ended in the armistice. There is no decisive moves at both sides .So here's my proposition. The Resultbox must stay as a Armistice as both sides ended fighting by armistice, not formal disengagement .Sorry for my bad English.
