What role did Benito Mussolini play in ww2?

Answer 1

Benito Mussolini was the leader of Socialist Italy, which was an not an Ally to Nazi Germany until Germany scared them into it.

The Italian military was beautifully dressed and had wonderfull parades, but were terrible soldiers, and gave up in the hundreds of thousands when faced by a modern enemey force. They folded up like a cheap suit, and the Germans never trusted them to hold any position for more than an hour. The only time the Italians fought well was when they had Germans behind them, pointing their guns at them.

Mussolini was a minor player in the actual conflict of WWII, but is probably best known as the one Axis leader who tried to start the war.

Answer

Mussolini was the dictator of Italy until 1943.

He was bellicose in trying to expand Italy's world presence. Before the official beginning of WWII in Sept 1939 he had already sent forces to capture Albania and Ethiopia. Lacking the strength of Germany, he decided to tag along with German victories, thus involving Italy in wars with France, Britain and Greece in 1940 and 41.

His several initiatives were without exception, disasters. His armed forces were inadequate for the various tasks put before them. The Italian economy was weak and inefficient from the start. Italy had basically withdrawn from active military involvement when in 1943 there was a popular uprising against Mussolini.

German leaders had wisely predicted such a turn of events and moved quickly, expertly and efficiently to disarm the Italian armed forces before they could be used by the new Italian government to attack Germany. In one of the most brilliant commando attacks of the war German units even raided the complex where Mussolini was being help captive and freed him.

Mussolini thus became a mere figurehead for the remainder of the war, having neither a military nor any political power. Near the end of the war in 1945 he was captured again by Italian partisans who murdered him and his mistress and then strung their mutilated bodies upside down in a north Italian town plaza.

The Mussolini name lives on in Italy and members of his extended family are still active in politics today.

Mussolini in WW2

Benito Mussolini was the leader of fascist Italy. He played an important role in World War 2. See the link to the right for information on him.

Answer

He paid a little role he had alliance with Germany. The Italy was raging war against Britain in North African and they were not winning and the reason the Germans sent troops to North Africa because Italy was losing. The battle of France was started and Italy attacked southern France after the French army was in retreat. Italy had submarines that helped a little bit to destroy merchant shipping. There nearly was almost gone by the end of 1943. So in conclusion they had a very small effect.

Got owned by the Allies and din't help all too much. In fact, historians speculate that if Germany hadn't had to have delayed their advance into Russia to help out the Italians, they would have reached and taken Moscow before winter, therefore not freezing their arses off and dying. Thius would have really turned the tables in the war and maybe i'd be writing this all in German right now.
Mussolini was sort of a supporting character in WW 2. He doesn't accomplish many feats except for taking over a colony in Africa (which was Ethiopia, as vengence for their loss during an earlier time period when Italy tried to colonize them but failed miserably) and supporting the Germans in Africa. His leadership leads to the downfall of fascist Italy and he tries to escape by disguising himself as a soldier. He is shot/executed and he is hung on public display.
