Italian Fascism

Italian Fascism was a political movement led by Benito Mussolini that emerged in Italy during the early 20th century. It emphasized strong centralized authority, nationalism, and the belief that the state should have control over many aspects of life. Fascists rejected democracy, promoted militarism, and sought to unite Italians under a totalitarian regime. They used propaganda and violence to maintain power, suppress dissent, and revive Italy’s national strength and pride. Ultimately, Fascism aimed to create a disciplined, loyal society under a powerful leader, often at the expense of individual freedoms and democratic principles.
