In 1930 the worldwide economic depression arrived in Italy. The Second World War has weakened the power of Mussolini. At the same time, Hitler's dictatorship very spread. The world was scared of Adolf Hitler. During World War II Hitler and Mussolini was not an equal partner. In 1942 Italy was lost all wars. After the 6 month Mussolini collapsed, and Italy has been forced to pay many war debt. According to Smith ,’ A Biography of Benito Mussolini, Fascist Dictator of Italy’ The corpse of Mussolini, Petacci, and other members of their party were driven by truck to the Piazza Loreto on April 29, 1945. Mussolini's body was dumped in the road and people of the local neighborhood abused his corpse. Sometime later, the bodies of Mussolini and Petacci were hung upside down, side by side in front of a fueling station.Initially buried anonymously in the Morocco cemetery in Milan, the Italian government allowed Mussolini’s remains to be re-interred in the family crypt near Verano di Costa on August 31,
He believed that only a strong leader like himself could defeat conflicts caused by other political parties (especially communists/socialists) and post-war problems (World War I). Mussolini’s first call to action was creating a group called the “Blackshirts” that would carry out beatings against communist leaders and throwing them out of office. People of all different backgrounds joined including teachers, business people, and store owners (Document 5). Mussolini constantly told his people that he was going to restore Italy back to its glorious Roman Empire era. He backed up his sayings by invading Ethiopia.
Benito Mussolini was one of the strongest opponents towards democracy and liberalism, primarily in his native nation, Italy, and also in other areas in the world . He was, thus, a strong enthusiast of fascism. Adolf Hitler, on the other side, used the style and policies of leadership that were largely linked
In 1919, Benito Mussolini created fascism in Italy, starting the conflicts we have had throughout history. After the war, “He organized several right-wing groups into a single force and, in March 1919, formed the Fascist Party—the movement proclaimed opposition to social class discrimination and supported nationalist sentiments, hoping to raise Italy to levels of its great Roman past.” In 1922, Italy’s government system began to turn into chaos, and Benito Mussolini offered to help make it right. By 1925, he was a dictator who carried out a large public works program and reduced unemployment, making all of Italy adore him. From that moment forward, he created an astonishing military force.
His father taught him to defy authority and never be weak, this was one of the reasons he was so passionate about what he did and pushed so hard to get power. His major drive for power started after he quit the paper and joined the italian army in 1915, he thought if he could climb the ranks he would gain more power and after the war was over could be placed as a moyjo figure in the government. He was discharged that same year for being wounded. After being discharged he started several right wing groups known as the Blackshirts who terrorized political opponents and criticized the government. When Italy slipped into political chaos in 1922 Mussolini said he could restore order and was given authority.
Benito Mussolini- most would not classify this Fascist leader as having any part in America’s organized crime. However, Mussolini’s 1922 rise to power allowed the dots connecting the dictator to the Italian Mafia to form. Following World War I, the rising issue of the Sicilian Mafia became pervasive throughout Sicily. Recognizing this threat to his power, he quickly put Cesare Mori, one of his adherents, in charge of purging the Mafia from the streets of Sicily. This was no easy feat, Mafiosi ran rampant throughout Palermo and their bureaucratic leaders maintained an efficient system of eliminating their enemies- assassination.
In 1919, Benito Mussolini described fascism as “A movement that would strike against the backwardness of the right and the destructiveness of the left.” That “Fascism sitting on the right, could also have sat on the mountain of the center… These words in any case do not have a fixed and unchanged: they do have a variable subject to location, time and spirit. We don’t give a damn about these empty terminologies and we despise those who are terrorized by these words.” Fascism came into prominence in the early 20th-century Europe. It originated in Italy during World War I.
Fascism is ideology which often uses totalitarianism and nationalism methods. The fascist leaders made people are the subject to the government, and limit the independency of the people, in order to gain the better for the nation. This is somehow similar to absolutism of western Europe during 17th and 18th century. Absolutism had given the monarch absolute power to rule over people, while fascism had given the leader and the nation the power to rule over the people of the state. Moreover, fascism had denied the democratic parliament system, and had only allowed the “elite” to rule over the country.
The cartoon displayed the nationalist ideology of Germany and their desire to pin the blame on the people they deemed inferior or outsiders such as Jewish people. Document A, Benito Mussolini’s The Definition of Fascism written in 1932 described Fascism from the eyes of a Fascist leader. The document laid out the positives of Fascism explained that Fascism was the best government for the people. Mussolini wanted to make the Mediterranean an Italian lake and unite all Italian people. These nationalist sentiments garnered him significant support and gave rise to his fascist regime.
The leader and dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943 was Benito Mussolini. At the start of Mussolini’s career of leadership, he followed a democracy which promoted equality in all person’s rights. Though, prejudiced elections triggered him to abolish all democratic establishments, political parties, and independent trade. During 1919, he founded the National Fascist Party, and it was put into place without the consent of the non-fascist citizens. The Fascist regime was combined with the government in 1921; therefore, dictatorship was implemented the government.
Have you ever heard the saying that Fascism and Communism are two sides of the same coin? These ideologies flourished during the first half of the 20th century and influenced several European states which followed the two ideologies. Fascism was imposed in order to promote powerful and permanent nationalism within a totalitarian state led by a dictator which is ready to engage in conflict internally and with its neighbors. The doctrine of Fascism was drafted in 1919 by Giovanni Gentile and adopted by Mussolini (Mussolini is considered the founder of fascism). Gentile stated, “Everything for the state; nothing against the state” (Heywood, Politics 48).
Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany were similar in that both were dictatorships. Both Mussolini and Hitler came to power through legal means and believed that people were divided into either inferior or superior races. For example, Hitler was obsessed with the Aryan race and called for the genocide of Jews during WWII. In addition, both Mussolini and Hitler favored the wealthy, believed that an individual was meaningless and must submit to the decisions of their leaders, and aimed at self-sufficiency so that each could survive entirely without international trade. Furthermore, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy “had aimed for prestige and power for their countries, and brought instead humiliation and destruction” (Tarr, R.,
Communism believed in a classless society, while Fascism followed a dictatorship, but maintaining a dictatorship required the suppression of the people. Fascist ideology believed that “war alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to meet it,” which requires constant violence to prove power (Lualdi 236). By 1924, Mussolini was able to gain 65% of the vote for fascism, but in 1933, the Nazi party only gained 44% of the vote, and even with a minority ruling party was able to gain control of the government. Both Mussolini and Hitler came into power through legal means, but Mussolini was named Prime Minister in the hopes of avoiding war but after gaining control. Yet after their legal rise into power, they used coercion and violence to further their fascist rulings.
Even though Mussolini was incredibly smart in school as a kid, he was very troublesome. He was disobedient, a bully at school and moody at home. Having a reputation of wanting/becoming a political journalist, the rise to power for Mussolini was falling into his father’s political footsteps. “The King prepared to accept the Fascist alternative, dispatched the telegram for which mussolini had been waiting for” (Hibbert). “By late 1921, The fascists controlled large parts of
In fact, when Mussolini founded the Milan facio in March 1919, it had no clear-cut goals, except for a belief in action and a stated goal of strong foreign policy (Duggan, 2013). However, when Italy was driven from Fiume at the end of 1920, many Italians began to believe that Italy would have to develop strong foreign policy. In 1921, Mussolini formed the National Fascist Party and began to quickly amass power in the Italian government. One of the methods he did so was to tout
Fascism and Nazism have many things similar, however, there are also some considerable differences between them. Concerning the background, both Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany rose because people were discontented with the weak democratic governments at that time and strongly felt the Paris Peace Settlement unfair. Italians were not satisfied with the limited reward granted to them after the WW1 compared to their huge contribution (i.e. the Italian government had made huge military expenditure and the total cost of the war is 148,000 million lire, twice more than the total sum expenditure of all Italian government for 1861 to 1913) (Lee, 2000).
