Benito Mussolini

Economic - The economic conditions were very bad under Benito Mussolini. Because he centralized decision making and established big bureaucracies, the government ended up causing a lot of economic chaos. By trying to control everything, he ended up controlling very little.

Social - Wages were often an issue for workers since they were thoroughly under paid. Fascism was supported by industrialists and land owners who wanted to see the destruction of labor unions and peasant cooperatives. People who didn't go for the idea of ideology were forced to.

I hope this helps a little :)

Typical of the fascist ideology that both Hitler and Mussolini believed in, the two leaders tried to use rhetoric and propaganda to stir up feelings of anti-communism, anti-capitalism, antisemitism, nationalistic pride, and most importantly, that the laws and actions of the government are for the common good.

Mussolini's ideas of fascism centered around authoritarian nationalism, emphasizing the supremacy of the state over individual interests and the need for a strong, centralized government. He promoted the concept of a totalitarian regime where the state controls various aspects of life, including the economy and culture, to achieve national unity and strength. Additionally, Mussolini advocated for militarism and imperial expansion, believing that a powerful nation must assert itself on the global stage. His vision also included the suppression of political dissent and the promotion of a collective identity based on national pride and cohesion.

Benito Mussolini was born on July 29, 1883

Many countries have an "ugly" policy, to made some "replica" in gold of stamp.

Prices depend on market, if someone is selling or buying. From my experience, that is more that 30 yr in philately - I never discovered real collectors market for material like this - but, real price are same like gold alone on market - in this case - it is worth almost nothing. Probably existed few collectors worldwide that collect "gold" stamp - but it must be very small and very specialized collector/s that will actually give You some real prices. Against, it depends on how much people want to spend for something like this "Gold" stamp.

Yes. Hitler really admired Mussolini and kept sending him letters and things, but Mussolini didn't really care what Hitler thought of him.

In 1924, socialist leader Giacomo Matteotti was assassinated after denouncing the elections of that year. Later that year, the fascist paramilitary MVSN (also known as the Blackshirts) gave an ultimatum to Mussolini Ð he could crush the opposition or they would do it without him. This caused Mussolini to drop all pretenses of democracy in January 1925. After 1926, Mussolini formally outlawed all other parties following an assassination attempt on his life.

The Lateran Pacts of 1929 gave the Pope sovereign rights to a state of his own in the Vatican City, this would have given him independance from the Kingdom of Italy and would have shown the world that he was not under Mussolini's control. Il Duce had to give up ever attaining a complete totalitiarian, secular state with the Pacts, however what they did do was eliminate the Catholic Church as a political rival, making them dissolve the PPI and the Catholic Scout Movement. The Pope didn't completely support Mussolini afterwards anyway, they still conflicted over the suppression of Catholic Action and the racial laws of 1938.

Benito Mussolini was called "Il Duce" meaning the leader, in Italian. It was very comparable to Hitler's title of Fuhrer.

Common agenda. Fascism and Hitlers ideals mix well. Mussolini became leader of Italy in 1922. Hitler came to power later and so he looked to Mussolini for ideas and also a mentor in formulating his miliary. On 14 June, 1934, Hitler made his first trip to meet Mussolini to discuss "international policy". Mussolini put on a show of his military might to impress Hitler. However, Mussolini did not want Germany to annex Austria and share a common border with Italy. He succeded in this for a few years. Some say that Hitler was inspired to use the stiff-armed "Nazi salute" from observing Mussolini's troops using the Roman salute. On the other hand, Mussolini tried to emulate the German "goose step" march after his visit to Germany in 1937. After 1937, Hitler was in command of his own destiny and did not look to Mussolini for direction or inspiration. In World War 2 Mussolini was just a nuisance - going to war, getting a sound hiding and then asking Hitler for help.

NEW RESPONDENT

He restored the public order and thanks to a great program of public works

(development of the Railway and road nets, of merchant marine, reclamation of vast marshy areas, public building etc.) and effective measures in favour of infancy, the sporting activities, the workers, Social Welfare and Public Health, he gained much popularity.

When Mussolini and his wife, and some political leaders was trying to flee from Italy, some Italian farmers shot and killed Mussolini and the political leaders. After they where murdered the Italians thought of a plan to humiliate them, which was by hanging them by their feet on a gas station. ___________________________________________________________________ Not entirely true. Mussolini's wife did not flee with him. The female victim was Clara Petacci, Mussolini's mistress (done with full knowledge of his wife). She and Benito along with another Fascist were executed in the field by Communist Italians and hanged upside down to curry favor with the invading Allies. The Allies were not impressed by such a transparent show of solidarity and ordered the bodies cut down. * The execution of Mussolini occurred two days before Hitler's suicide, and Hitler may not even have been aware of it.

Well, that is an interesting answer. First, allow me to explain that Mussolini's mother was a fanatic Roman Catholic. Thus, in his youth and until his teen years, he was a devout Catholic. However, later in life, he believed that religion prevented him from better leading his country. Ergo, he became atheist.

He was called "Il Duce". It means The Duke.

Benito Mussolini affected society today by means of his contributions in modernizing Italy. He also influenced dictators such as Hitler and Franco, who made fascism appealing to the working class of Europe until today.

He and his mistress Clara Petacci were caught by communist partisans trying to escape Italy into Switzerland on April 27, 1945, where they had planned to travel via plane to Spain. The partisans put him on a train back to comune Mezzegra along with 15 other fascists. He was executed by shooting there the next day.

Mussolini's ultimate legacy was not a desirable one. After being shot, his corpse and that of Petacci were thrown in the back of a truck and taken to Milan. He was strung up in the Piazza Quindici Martiri (Literally, "The Square of Fifteen Martyrs"; named for 15 anti-fascists hung there just weeks prior to Mussolini's fall from grace) by a meat hook, where his lifeless body was shot, stoned, and spat upon. As you can clearly see, the people hadn't an ounce of love left for him. Some even speculate that it was the news of Mussolini's horrific death (and consequent parading) that aided in Hitlers' decision to commit suicide.

Mussolini signed the pact with Hitler on 22 May, 1939. He had gotten a promise from Hitler that Germany would not start a war for 3 years and give Italy time to build up their arms. Italy ordered 6 battleships and additional munitions factories. On 1 September 1939, Germany invaded Poland. The Germans took Belgium, then invaded Norway and Denmark. On June 10,1940, Mussolini gave a fiery speech to annouce that Italy was joing the fight. After German troops entered Paris on 14th June, Mussolini ordered the invasion of France to start on the 18th but due to delays, the attack did not start until 4 days before France had surrendered. Not to be out down by Hitler, Mussolini launched the invasion of British Somaliland on 3 August 1940 with 40,000 men from Ethiopia. On 13 September, his desert army in Libya crossed into Egypt. Without informing Hitler, he launched an attack into Greece. Then the war really got started.
