Fasci Italiani di Combattimento

Fasci Italiani di Combattimento was an Italian fascist political movement founded by Benito Mussolini in 1919. It combined nationalist, militarist, and anti-socialist ideas, aiming to create a strong, unified Italy through authoritarian rule. The group promoted nationalist pride, anti-communism, and the use of violence to achieve political goals. It evolved into the Fascist Party and laid the groundwork for Mussolini’s rise to power, ultimately establishing Italy’s fascist dictatorship. The movement emphasized discipline, patriotism, and the rejection of democratic democracy, reflecting Mussolini’s vision of a totalitarian state centered on loyalty and national strength.
