How did the acceptance of Christianity change life in the Roman Empire?
By the time of Emperor Constantine in the fourth century CE, Christianity is believed to have constituted around ten per cent of the population of the Roman Empire. Had it not been for the support provided by Constantine, and the events of the fourth century, Christianity might well have remained a minor, if important, religion among those of the Roman Empire.
Constantine gave the Christian Church substantial state patronage and made it clear that those of ambition would improve their chances of success by becoming Christians. He began the persecution of the pagan temples and encouraged the Christians in developing a culture of plundering the temples for gain.
Constantine's family members followed him as emperors. Between murdering each other, they helped tighten the grip of Christianity on the empire. In 381, Emperor Theodosius declared Christianity the state religion and then banned the public worship of the pagan gods, although probably more than half the population were pagans. Within a few centuries, paganism was all but eliminated from the Roman Empire.
Who was Mussolini replaced by?

Were Italians who fought in World War 2 in 1942 on the side of the allies or the axis?
Yes. They fought in North Africa. At first the Germans were under the command of the Italian Commando Supremo (Supreme command). It wasn't until Hitler promoted Gen. Rommel that the Italians served under the Germans.
Many Italians fought at Stalingrad in winter of 1941-42. When the German VI Army was surrounded, the 6th Alpini (Mountain troops) lead a force of Germans out of the entrapment.
On 8 Sept 1943, the Italian government surrendered. However, the Fascists remained loyal to the Germans and continued to fight on their side. There were several Italians divisions formed, but most were used to as anti-partisan forces. An Italian SS Division was created.
Other Italians remained loyal to the Allies. Four Italian combat groups were formed and fought with the Italians in late 1944 and 1945.

What were Adolf Hitler's plans for Germany?
Adolph Hitler fought for the supremacy of his own ethnic group (which he described as the Aryan race) over all other ethnic groups. He had a particular hatred of Jews, whom he sought to destroy (and he did, as it turns out, manage to kill most of the Jews of Europe). He wanted to establish a new and very large German Empire called the Third Reich, based upon racism and violence, which he intended to last for a thousand years (and which he often referred to as the Thousand Year Reich) but which, as it turned out, only lasted for about 15 years, doing tremendous harm during that time period.

Why was the battle of anzio important?
The Battle of Anzio was the beachhead invasion of Italy from January the 22nd to May the 23rd 1944 by Allied troops during the Second World War. A failure to use information gained by deciphering German codes led to the Allied troops being stranded temporarily after German attacks. Allied troops were held on the beachhead for five months before the breakthrough after Monte Cassino allowed the US 5th Army to dislodge the Germans from the Alban Hills and allow the Anzio force to begin its advance on Rome.
Why were fascist leaders in Italy and Germany able to come to power in the 1920's and 1930's?
Hitler and Mussolini were able to gain political power because of political/economic problems.
After WW1 Germany had to pay reparations for starting the war. France invaded a big industrial center of Germany. German workers went on strike and the government gave them money but created more marks(German $) in circulation causing inflation. In 1914 4.2 German marks = $1 in 1923 4.2 trillion marks = $1
Unemployment was also high and at one point 40% of German workforce did not have a job. Many turned to radical groups like the Nazis.
In Italy inflation and unemplyoment played a role as well. There was a fear of Communism rising to power in Italy. Mussolini was able to create a police(OVRA) that was able to keep Italy from falling into Communism. and Hitler appealed to the peoples sense of pride through slick speeches . he made groups such as the Hitler youth and he promised changr

Osprey Publication "Canadian Forces in WWII" by Rene Chartrand is small but has an excellent history of how Canada built up their forces from 8,000 regular Army and 60,000 Reserve forces to a force of 1,,079,451 out of a population of 11 Million. It includes a table that lists every Regiment and where they served or if disbanded.
In all, 368,000 Canadians served in Europe, 7,600 in the Pacific and a few thousand in Africa. Canadian casualties in NW Europe totaled 48,000 with 11,546 deaths.

Did any black people benefit from slavery?
A) GEOGRAPHICAL MIGRATION
It is FALLACIOUS AND UNTRUE that africans (blacks' ancestors) COULD NOT HAVE emigrated en masse to America without slavery.
IF HUMAN SLAVERY WERE OUTLAWED IN THE EARLY DAYS,
* Africans would STILL have migrated en masse to America,
because the caucasians would STILL have imported africans en masse into America because africans would still remain the cheapest, most-preferred source of labour in the labour market
* the blacks would have achieved better rights and wealth
MANY DECADES EARLIER
(without the need to go through decades fighting to extricate themselves out of the slave status).
B) ABOLISHMENT OF SLAVERY
Secondly it is clear that ..
.. it is
NOT SLAVERY,
but the
ABOLISHMENT OF SLAVERY ..
.. that facilitated the new generations of blacks (and many other previously-enslaved races) to enjoy the current human rights, education and living standards etc.
*** So, imagine if slavery is still enforced in America today, the blacks children would still be deprived of the rights of salary, education, voting power etc. ***
C) CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS
Slavery stripped the African-American slaves from their culture, stolen and sold-off from the richest land of all the earth. They lost their languages, values, etc. It implemented schemes such as the Willie Lynch plan, which encouraged slave owners to turn slaves against one another and to discriminate against each other on the basis of skin color, etc. because slave owners knew that a united group of slaves would pose danger to him and the continuing existence of slavery. Furthermore, black men were forced to "breed" with multiple women to increase the slave population and to produce strong offspring, and were sold away from their families often. After hundreds of years of these practices that were FORCED onto this race, the Black community still suffers from schemes that were bred into their ancestors to this day.
CONCLUSION
So to answer your question,
NO, slavery itself DID NOT benefit the blacks.
YES, in fact it is the ABOLISHMENT OF SLAVERY
all over the world that allows slaves all over the world to have a better future.
What did Benito Mussolini fear?
