The socialist movements position on what was becoming World War I was that it was a war for the capitalist classes and that the labor movement should stay out of it. Nationalism overwhelmed Mussolini's socialism and he supported Italy's entry in the war (on the Allied side). Many Italians such as Mussolini thought that Italy did not get justice in terms of territorial settlements at the end of the war despite having been on the winning side. After the war there was social turmoil in Italy and socialists and communists were winning control of many city governments. Mussolini organized the Fascist Party to counter the socialists and communists and, through a march on Rome, gained control of the Italian government. Mussolini ruled Italy as a dictator during the late 1920's and 1930's. He allied himself with Hitler.
