Who led Italy during most of World War 2?
Benito Mussolini. Mussolini started his political career in the early 1900's after the end of the first world war as a journalist and a socialist. He soon got caught in the rightwing hysteria that was taking place in Italy and elsewhere in Europe, and helped to organize the Black Fascist League. He was able to take over the country but still allowing the King to officially head the country. In the 1930's, he was not fond of Adolf Hitler but eventually by 1938, to ally himself to the Nazi dictator. Mussolini never did share Hitler's antisemitism and never did carry out any actions against Italian Jews. Mussolini was relegated to a junior partner because the Italian military disgraced itself over and over again in North Africa, Albania, Greece and even in France when she invaded Southern France but was stopped by the French. Mussolini contributed large forces to the Soviet Union but suffered major losses, especially during and after the Battle of Stalingrad. The final drama was when the Allies conquered Sicily and invaded Italy. They even bombed Rome which doomed Mussolini. He was captured by partisans in the northern region of Italy in 1944 but was rescued by German special forces. Eventually he was arrested along with his mistress and was executed in Milan in early 1945. Both were strung up-upside down and spat on by thousands of angry Italians. Hitler was notified about his execution which led him to commit suicide and not be captured by the Russians!
