The Blackshirts, also known as squadristi, were bands of Fascists, formed by Mussolini, that attacked socialist offices and newspapers and used violence to break up strikes. These violent groups eventually helped Mussolini rise to power. After Mussolini gained power, he formed the OVRA, which was a terrorist police force that could arrest and jail anyone who was suspected to be an enemy of the government, without a trial.
