Mussolini
Benito Mussolini was an Italian politician and journalist who led the National Fascist Party and served as Prime Minister of Italy from 1922 until his ousting in 1943. He was a key figure in the creation of Fascism and aligned Italy with Nazi Germany during World War II. Mussolini's aggressive foreign policies and militaristic rhetoric contributed to the outbreak of conflict in Europe, and his regime was marked by authoritarian rule, suppression of dissent, and violent opposition to communism and socialism.
