Mussolini coming to power

He gained support from the King of Italy and many landowners/factory owners & upper class people by using his blackshirt militias to put an end to socialist strikes.

This, combined with other factors, resulted in the King appointing Mussolini as Prime Minister. It was after this that his supporters marched on Rome as a victory parade/show of force. Over time, he gradually transferred more powers to himself, until he could oust non fascists from the cabinet and could eventually name himself Duce.
He was appointed by King Victor Emmanuel.
During and after World War I, there was economic and political turmoil in Italy. In 1914, having renounced his previous Marxist socialism, Mussolini established a right-wing nationalist (Fascist) movement, the Fasci Rivoluzionari d'Azione Internazionalista.

He gained support from the King of Italy (Emmanuel III) and many landowners, factory owners, and financiers using his blackshirt militias to put an end to socialist strikes in 1920. In 1921, the Fascists became a political party, the Partito Nazionale Fascista (PNF), and Mussolini was elected to the Italian parliament.

In 1922, Benito Mussolini marched into Rome with his Blackshirt legion, and Emmanuel, fearing civil war, appointed Mussolini as Prime Minister, replacing Luigi Facta, who had tried and failed several times to form a stable government.


Benito Mussolini created the Fascist Party. This is a terrorist squads called the Black Shirts. With his army, he was able to gained power and star conquering places.
He was asked by the king to form a government.
Bentio Mussolini took advantage of the bad economic conditions that existed after World War I. He used these to take power by promising to be a stronger leader for the people of Italy.
Benito Mussolini was able to acquire power in Italy because of the depressed economy. He used inflammatory language to build feelings against people in competing parties.
