Benito Mussolini, who led Fascist reign in Italy.
the circumstances under which the Fascist party came to power in Italy are:-
• Italy got nothing, though she was with the victors in the First World War.
• Post-war destruction of industries, unemployment, increase in tax, inflation
etc. kept people away from the government.
• Industrialists, in fear of Italy moving to socialism, were prompted to
support fascism.
Mussolini resorted to despotic measures in the political and economic fields of Italy. Violence and ferocity were the strategies of the Fascists.Socialists and leaders of peasants and workers were proclaimed as enemies of the nation. Those who opposed the Fascist Party were executed. The aim of Mussolini was to restore ancient Roman Empire. As part of this, he adopted several symbols of ancient Roman administration. Using his military force the 'Black Shirts', Mussolini suppressed the opponents through Fascist policies.
His aggressive foreign policy led him to conquer nations like Ethiopia,
Albania etc. Italy's run for dictatorship paved the way for the outbreak of another war.
