To restore them to "greatness".
They both died and became pussys
Hitler and Mussolini were both thugs, who appealed to the most barbaric and uncivilized elements of their respective nations.
After World War 1, Hitler and Mussolini both seperatly pulled together forces in their respective countries. They were able to do this because the majority of the population was dissolusioned by the war.
Both were fascist dictators. Italy and Germany were both very heavily armed countries, due to their rulers' ambitions. Both rulers died in 1945, in WWII, a conflict that they were part of. Both looked to have an overseas Empire, possibly in Africa or Russia. Both hated communism.
he was captured by the Allies and hung upside down along with his Mistress in the town square.
Both Hitler and Mussolini's downfalls were from the loss of World War 2. Stalin had no downfall. He died while still in power in 1953.
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.
They were both related to their decline and fall from power .
Fascism was political philosophy popular in the 1920s and 30s. Italy under Benito Mussolini and Spain under Francisco Franco were both fascist nations. There were many other countries with fascist governments and/or leaders, some were elected, some took power, but these two were the most famous. For ease of understanding Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler is often called a fascist nation, but it really was not, Nazism was its own brand of government.
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 both died before WW2 ended.
Mussolini signed a pact with Hitler to be an ally. He did NOT think of it as he was following after Hitler. Both countries had a form of fascist government. For a long time, before the war and a year into the war, the two Dictators were equal in many ways in their actions and egotism. Mussolini came to power in 1922, many years before Hitler did in 1933. In June 1934, Hitler traveled to Italy to visit Mussolini. Hitler, dressed in civilian clothes, was dazzled by Mussolini who wore a splendid uniform and showed off his air and sea power. This inspired Hitler to begin wearing his uniform and visor cap. Even the Nazi stiff-arm salute was taken from Mussolini and his Blackshirts. Mussolini was fluent in German but it seems that every time they met, Hitler would take control of the conversation. So, in a sense, Mussolini did relent control to Hitler. By 1941, Italy had fought several years in North Africa and was tired of war. Their Army was worn out and needed new equipment. That made Mussolini "look up" to Hitler for aide.
