Benito Mussolini

Italy was part of the axis forces in World War 2. In World War 1 Italy and it's colonies were part of the Allies forces.

The reason he lost power was because the country was tired of fighting wars and loosing their men. The Allies were advancing closer to Italy and the people did not want their land and historical culture destroyed by war. The mechanism by which he lost power was that his government voted him out of office. Mussolini was sick and depressed from the war and he did not have the power to fight them. The Pope called him in for a personal visit and urged Mussolini to accept the vote and resign. He was placed under house arrest until Hitler sent some an elite team of commandos to rescue him. He then became a puppet head of a powerless Fascist government that was subserviant to the German commanders. Breed "New Tech"

He was elected, but immediately began to take away people’s rights and enforce a dictatorship. He copied and followed Hitler.

One thing Benito Mussolini did was outlaw political parties.

possibly because Europe has long history, and thus has been able to explore many political paths, some more successful than others. same goes for aisa and Africa. the only continent really excluded is north America and that's because it was only relatively recently that it has been densly colonised with humans.

if however you are more concered with relatively more recent phenomenia, you may want to look at each individuals reasoning (and you have plenty of indivuals, as its plainly so alluring) for their political, and ask yourself, is it really so hard to find politicians who agree with that viewpoint in non-European contries.

I don't think any of it is from the bible, although there is some vengefull language in the old testament, most of it is spoken by God himself. So where there is any resembleance between the prayer and a bible verse it is most always going to be because of the words spoken by God. Also, in the movie the brothers say to Rocco, "That's a family prayer...that's our $hit."

glory and power.

true but it was mostly because his country was a new one and he wanted his people to faith in the government and be very encouraged to join the army, and fight well, when the inevitable WWII started.

They were all great, but terrible men. They killed millions of people, but were brilliant. Adolf Hitler was one of the greatest military minds of all time and an amazingly charismatic speaker. He was able to gain support from millions of people just by taking advantage of the fact that people were desperate. But, he brought the German people out of the great depression much faster than roosevelt could in America because he was smart and used the strengthening of the military to create jobs for people. Stalin, instead used rapid industrializatrion and communism to ensure people had jobs and made his country stronger. Both Mussolini and Hitler felt a need for expansion and their people experienced the loss of personal freedoms. They would make that sure anyone who spoke out against them ended up dead and Hitler even had thousands of books burned because he didnt want his people reading them.

Used warfare as an instrument of national policy

what they have in common is is that they were all dictators in one place or another Hitler was responsible of the deaths of 6 million Jews Stalin in my case was the good guy and Mussolini he was just a dictator !

it was Hitler, Francisco Franco,Otto Skorzeny,Ida Dalser. wife is Donna Rachele Mussolini

Through fear. Much like Hitler and Stalin did. (Joseph Stalin). Once his (Mussolini) 'allies' helped him seize power, he converted the italian government to a state of Facism like Hitler. Ran through fear and racism. Unlike the German people, Mussolini's people knew a lot more in detail about what he was doing to their country.

That is a good question. Why would this powerful dictator agree to surrender his position upon request of a small group of his Cabinet and the King??

Reading a biography on Mussolini, you learn he had problems with (a) his health and (b) he also had bouts of depression. I think these two problems made him see the futility of trying to lead a country in war.

However, once he was rescued by the Germans, they seemed to have talked him into returning to a position of leader for the Fascist groups.

no that was Adolf Hitler

Hitler traveled to Italy to meet Mussolini at Venice on14 June, 1934. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss thequestion of Austria's independance. This was their first meeting and, upon the urging of his advisors, Hitler traveled to Italy in civilian clothes, wearing a floppy felt hat and a wrinkled raincoat. Mussolini met him in all his military regalia which left Hitler a little embarrassed; vowing to never do that again.

They were both responsible for the death of millions of innocent people.

Japan wanted to be the largest Asian empire. They wanted to expand out to china Vietnam, laos and cambodia and eventually meet up with Germany. Germany did not make it because of the fact that russia was too big and that's where they fell.

The tsars and Stalin were dictators. What the tsars and the Stalin government had in common was that they demanded complete loyalty.

One can make an easy argument that Benito Mussolini and his Italian Armed Forces, were much more a liability than an asset to Hitler and the Third Reich. Every country he directly invaded, be it Ethiopia, Albania, Greece, or South France, his forces weren't able to successfully occupy these countries, without the Germans having to come to their rescue. Ethiopia did fall, but eventually the British and its Commonwealth allies, threw back the Italians out of Ethiopia and threantened their supply routes. Hitler had to quickly organize a German attack force, called Africa Korps, under Field Marshall Rommel, to save the Italian army. At that time, early in the war, Libya was an Italian colony and almost lost its colony if it wasn't for the superior German forces. The most significant setback for Italy and which would haunt the Germans later was, the inability of Italian forces to capture Albania and Greece in the beginning of 1941. Mussolini did not bother to inform Hitler of his plans to invade these countries. Hitler was furious. What it did, was to commit German forces to defeat the British, Albanians, and the Greeks in April. Hitler went ahead and invaded Yugoslavia and occupied that country. The problem was that Hitler wanted to invade the Soviet Union in April not June 22 which is the date he invaded the Soviet Union. Had he invaded Russia in April, not in late June, there was a good probability that the Germans could have taken Moscow before the winter set in and stopped the German advance. Its interesting to note, that Hitler was the only one in Germany that valued the Italian alliance. The German General Staff were always dumbfounded. There were some Italian units that performed well in Africa, later in the war in 1942 and 43, and on the Eastern Front. But they were the exception, not the rule.

Mussolini did not establish a dictatorship in 1922. Mussolini was granted the position of PM and the chance to form a coalition government under an offer made by the King. Mussonlini in fact established a dictatorship in 1925 after apologising for the assassination of a parliament member. Mussolini did not establish a dictatorship in 1922.

At the close of World War II, Mussolini attempted to escape to Switzerland, was captured and summarily executed.

Hitler did not attempt to escape; he committed suicide when Allied forces were closing in.

Benito Mussolini was born on July 29, 1883
