It's not about WW1 at all - except that there may have been a more political version. My Grandmother used to recite a poem which was a poor effort to remember some of the names of certain European countries
Long legged Italy kicked poor Sicily Into the middle of a Sardine tin (Sardinia !) Along came Hungary Ate a bit of Turkey Dipped it in Greece...
My memory thankfully fails at this point. It's not a strong contender for a Nobel literary laureat!
Grandma did know some better ones.
Glenn AnswerWell, due to Ouchy Treatry which was signed after Tripoli War gave Italy control of Tripoli (Libya) and temporary control 12 isles in aegean sea. After WW1 Ottoman Empire was divided between Italy, England and France. Italy was supposed to get the western and south western parts of anatolia, but western part was given to Greece afterwards. After Turkish War of Indepence Greeks were driven away, there has been no conflict with Italians. But later Italy left 12 islands to Greece.
