Benito Mussolini's rise to power in Italy began with the aftermath of World War I. The country faced economic instability, social unrest, and political disillusionment. In 1919, Mussolini founded the Fascist Party, advocating for nationalist and authoritarian policies to address these issues. Capitalizing on public discontent, Mussolini's charismatic leadership and promises of restoring Italy's former glory gained widespread support. In 1922, he staged the "March on Rome," a strategic display of strength that pressured King Victor Emmanuel III to appoint him Prime Minister. This marked the beginning of Mussolini's dictatorship. He swiftly consolidated power, suppressing opposition, controlling the economy through corporatist measures, and promoting a cult of personality around himself. Mussolini's alliances, including with the Catholic Church, further strengthened his rule. By the late 1920s, Italy had transformed into a fascist state, with Mussolini as its undisputed leader, known as Il Duce, until his regime's collapse in 1943.
