How did Benito Mussolini influence Adolf Hitler?

Answer 1

Benito and Adolf did not like each other but they respected each others power, certainly Benito would have been interested in gaining more power. In 1938, Germany occupied Austria in the Anschluss (forbidden by Versailles). Hitler did not forewarn Mussolini about what he was going to do and this upset Mussolini's belief that he was an equal partner. However, there was nothing Mussolini could do about the Nazi occupation of Austria and it was clear from 1938 on that Mussolini was definitely the minor partner in the relationship.

Answer 2

The "influence" was not a direct influence. For Example; Mussolini didn't go talk to Hitler, telling him that he should create a Dictatorship along side him. It was more of Hitler looking upon the work of Mussolini and imitating Mussolini and adding his own style in order to take over the German Government.

Some of the ways that Mussolini influenced Hitler :

1. Mussolini over trough the Italian government trough a political scheming.

hitler was also inspired by his speeches and if you compare the way he would over power the crowds it was very similar. I think that they were both against Judaism aswell but i am not completely sure because i got that of a really dodgy website so you might want to look it up.
