ItalypoliticianMaleb. 19046.5Global Dominance: 0.01%Umberto II was the last King of Italy, reigning for a brief period in 1946 before the monarchy was abolished in favor of a republic. His reign lasted only 35 days, during which he faced the aftermath of World War II and the growing desire for a democratic government. After his abdication, he lived in exile in Switzerland until his death in 1983. Despite his short reign, he remains a significant figure in Italian history, often referred to as the 'King of May' due to the timing of his rule.
