Badoglio, Pietro (1871–1956) Italian general and Prime Minister. By 1925 he was chief of staff; Mussolini appointed him governor of Libya (1929) and sent him (1935) to rescue the faltering Italian campaign in
ETHIOPA. He captured Addis Ababa and became governor. When Mussolini was deposed in 1943, he was chosen to head the new non-fascist government. He made peace with the advancing Allies, declared war against Germany, but resigned soon afterwards.
