- Benito Mussolini

About this Quote

This quote by Benito Mussolini is a metaphor for the power dynamics between countries. The "League" is a reference to the League of Nations, a global company formed after World War I to promote peace and security. The "sparrows" represent the smaller sized, weaker countries, while the "eagles" represent the larger, more powerful countries. The quote suggests that the League of Nations works when the smaller nations are able to comply and work together, however is inefficient when the larger, more effective countries remain in conflict. This is due to the fact that the larger nations have more impact and power, and can easily subdue the smaller sized countries. The quote suggests that the League of Nations is not capable of resolving conflicts in between the larger countries, and that it is just effective when the smaller countries have the ability to comply. This quote is a tip of the importance of cooperation and diplomacy in global relations, and the need for bigger nations to collaborate in order to guarantee peace and security.
