Mussolini: Fascist Leader and Dictator
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the life, Fascist leadership and dictatorship of Benito Mussolini. The formation of the Fascist party in Italy by Benito Mussolini in 1919 was a pivotal point in Italian history and one in the life of Mussolini. Previously an ardent socialist, Mussolini was also an opportunist and one whose craving for power was dominated by the force he used to obtain and maintain it. Extremely bright and well educated, Mussolini moved wherever opportunities existed and when it was obvious that the governmental system in Italy was weak, he was able to dominate the system and declare himself “Il Duce” as a dictator. During the 1920s and the 1930s, it can be said that the Fascist Regime owed its existence to Mussolini and his Fascist colleagues supported his leadership, and were persecuted if they did not. During World War II however, when Mussolini felt his best course of action was to join the Germans, this not only led to a great deal of dissension within Italy but also led to a great deal of military losses on behalf of the Italian army. The Fascists blamed Mussolini for their losses and had him arrested. Although he was later rescued by the Germans and set up his own regime in Northern Italy, he was eventually executed by Italian partisans. Mussolini’s drive and charisma made him a dominant dictator who was accepted by the Italians and aided by the media during the strong times yet was blamed and condemned by the Fascists and Italians during Italy’s defeat.
