Yes. They were leaders of countries that fought in WW2. They personally did not carry a gun in battle in WW2. But both fought as soldiers in WW1.
In 1939 Hitler and Stalin signed a friendship pact, and promised that they would not fight. But shortly after that Hitler broke the pact.
They signed a treaty together with Japan, becoming allied together as the Axis Powers, because they all felt like they got a bad deal following the result of World War I. Mussolini had created a totalitarian government in Italy. He saw Hitler as the idea totalitarian leader. Hitler saw Mussolini as a possibly useful puppet. Before long, Hitler saw Mussolini as completely useless, even as a puppet, and went out of his way to humiliate Mussolini. Mussolini's government collapsed in 1943, and Italy joined the Allies.
They were one third of the biggest part of the Axis Powers. The others were the Germans led by Adolf Hitler, and the Italians led by Benito Mussolini.
If you are referring to Mussolini's fascist party during WWII, they were on the same side as the Nazi's and Japanese, referred to as the Axis Powers.
the treaty of Versailles
Peace on Earth, the defeat of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini and the restoration of Asia to its pre-1937 borders. It also sought revenge for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Mussolini waited a while until it was "obvious" that the Germans were going to win WW2 and by 1940 he had committed his forces, such as they were, to Hitler. Apparently, when told that Hitler had the Italians on his side, Churchill said "that's only fair. We had to have them last time." Before the war was over, Mussolini had switched sides to fight with the soon-to-be-victorious Allies, but it did him little personal good. He and his wife were hanged from lampposts by Italians.
Yes , all three , though Axis allies , pursued their own nationalist agendas .
He did fight in World War 1 and was injured in action.
Basically, Mussolini had originally disliked Hitler when he took control of Germany, and came close to going to war with Germany in 1934 when Nazis assassinated the dictator who ruled Austria (the Austrian dictator was friends with Mussolini; additionally, Italy didn't want Germany to annex Austria and become too powerful). Although Mussolini disliked Hitler, Hitler greatly admired Mussolini and even tried to copy things that Mussolini had done. However, Italy wanted to build an empire, and picked a fight with Ethiopia, which led to a full invasion. Hitler was the only world leader who expressed support for Italy in their war; all other major countries condemned it. Mussolini finally began to like Hitler; he relented and did not try to stop Hitler from annexing Austria in 1938. Eventually Germany and Japan began working on an alliance that would fight against Communist aggression (Japan lost a very short war against the Soviet Union and wanted allies in case of another war with them). Italy also joined the alliance; eventually Italy and Germany would form the "Pact of Steel", officially bonding the countries together in World War II, which started about four months later.
