Benito Mussolini, the first fascist movement leader in Italy. Mussolini established his own dictatorship in Italy that led fascism to win a thousand converts in 1922 and created a great impact not only to his country, but also to the history of Italy.
victor emmanuel 3rd i think, i am english italian i only know about italian history in ww2 but yh victor emmanuel was the leader of italy before being killed by mussolini's henchman.
Only Mussolini can tell us for certain, but we can guess that it was his relationship with Hitler, and his childhood (He stabbed a fellow classmate with a pencil, due to his anger) that lead to him wanting power. or simply he wanted to make Italy great.
Political killings between 1926 (after which the Fascists assumed total power) and Mussolini's deposal in 1943 were only 22. They weren't very brutal in Italy but were much more so in Libya and Ethiopia.
No. King Victor Emmanuel II was the leader. Unable to stop Mussolini, he remained the King of Italy as a figurehead only until Mussolini was thrown out, and then he resumed his previous status.
benito mussolini
Communism didn't cause WWII. Fascism, or Nazism at that time, did. Germany became Fascist and started taking over Europe. Mussolini then turned Italy Fascist to protect it. The only communist country really involved was the USSR and they were Allied. NB: Italy was Facist under Mussolini long before Hitler came to power in Germany.
Mussolini did many things to keep control in Italy. Four of the biggest things were instituting martial law and making himself dictator, forming an alliance with Germany, establishing a fascist regime, and enforcing very strict censorship laws.
hitler, mussalini are the only two i know of
NO Mussolini as well
by using techniques that other dictarors used before him. You are correct---he can't be both at the same time. The reason is Mussolini came to power in 1922 and served for several years, even before Hitler came to power. Germany and Italy signed a Pact to be allies and equal. However, during their face-to-face meetings, Hitler always seemed to dominate the conversation. The Italians started colonial war in North AFrica in 1935. By 1941, the Italian citizens and the army was tired of war. As the war continued in the Mediterranean and Italy began to suffer from naval and air attacks, Mussolini grew weaker. When the Allies invaded Sicily in July 1943, the supporters of the King of Italy began to secretly meet to discuss surrender. Finally, in August, the government simply voted Mussolini out of office. That is when the Germans sent in more troops to take control of Italy and began fighting the Allies on the Italian mainland. They rescued Mussolini from his "prison" and set him up as head of state of what was Fascist Italy---which was really only the land north of Rome. It wasn't long before Mussolini had no army and no power under his command.
Mussolini introduced fascism to Italy, not socialism. Fascism is an authoritarian ideology that emphasizes the power and importance of the state, while socialism advocates for the democratic ownership and control of the means of production.
