Long story short: he was a dictator, he never had to convince the population (wich loved him thanks to the Propaganda) and bypassed parliament with the help of the king, later exiled.I can also attest to the fact that not every Italian hated him at the time of his rule. My grandfather, who grew up and lived in Italy under Mussolini, did not dislike the rigidity and formality that Mussolini imposed. Of course, he wasn't blind to the fact that Mussolini was also a tyrant.

When did Benito Mussolini Enter World War two?

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. They fought in North Africa. At first the Germans were under the command of the Italian Commando Supremo (Supreme command). It wasn't until Hitler promoted Gen. Rommel that the Italians served under the Germans.Many Italians fought at Stalingrad in winter of 1941-42. When the German VI Army was surrounded, the 6th Alpini (Mountain troops) lead a force of Germans out of the entrapment.On 8 Sept 1943, the Italian government surrendered. However, the Fascists remained loyal to the Germans and continued to fight on their side. There were several Italians divisions formed, but most were used to as anti-partisan forces. An Italian SS Division was created.Other Italians remained loyal to the Allies. Four Italian combat groups were formed and fought with the Italians in late 1944 and 1945.

What were Mussolini's beliefs during World War 2?

Mussolini was a dreamer. He had the notion that Italy would bring the Roman Empire back into existence. He admired the fascist government of the Third Reich. He chose to ally himself (never mind that the Italians did not want to ally themselves with the Nazi Germans) with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. He did not however agree with the the killing of the Jews. He thought he could expand the Italian Empire with the aid of the Nazis. He started by invading the nation of Abyssinia now known as Ethiopia. The Nazis did help him and he had his military help the Nazis. The Nazis came to Italy and basically took over. They used their Nazi bully tactics on the Italians. The Italians were not afraid to resist or fight back. Some Italians were forced into the military and had to fight the Allied Forces when they really wanted to be part of the Allied Force. Eventually, the Italians were able to kill Mussolini and work with the Allied Forces.
