Analise the Methods in Which One Right Wing Leader Established and Maintained over a Single Party State
October 26th 2011

Analyse the methods in which one right wing leader established and maintained
Over a single party state.

Benito Andrea Amilcare Mussolini was born in Predappio (Emilia Romagna), on July 29th 1883, the son of Alessandro, a socialist blacksmith and Rosa a religion teacher at the local school. In 1914 Benito joined the army and later WW1 to fight for his country. Once the war was over he slowly started to rise to power.

Mussolini started to gain power in the 1920s; he got support from upper class people, land and factory owners as well as the King. Mussolini believed that the lower class’s support was not necessary, and that they would soon decide to follow him anyways. In 1921 Benito Mussolini decided to go to parliament, as head of 250 fascist deputies, and on the third assembly he formed the National Fascist Party. He paid special attention to the instability which Italy was in, both politically and economically, and took advantage of the situation to rise through the unhappiness and uncertainty showing himself to be the man who could possibly stabilize the country. He gained power through careful manipulation and political intimidation until on October 28th 1922, Mussolini and twenty five thousand fascist followers marched into Rome and on October 30th he was asked to form the governement.

As Mussolini was rising to power he focused on beating his opponents. He worried so much about his enemies that he paid close attention to every step they took, and if they turned out to be dangerous he had them killed secretly or found a way to get rid of them. An example of Mussolini’s initial crimes may be the misterious assassination of Giacomo Matteotti a Socialist rival who fought all his life against the fascist regime. Mussolini finally established his dictatorship in January 1925.

Unlike Hitler, Mussolini did not terrorize his country to gain power; he used powerful speeches to convince the entire nation that Fascism was the

    In October 1922, King Victor Emmanuel III appointed Benito Mussolini as the 13th Prime Minister of the Italian state. Between 1919 and 1922, the Fascists had begun to appeal to a larger audience, such as the industrialists, the army and the middle classes, but in 1922 only held 7% of the vote. This means that although support was an important factor in Mussolini’s appointment to power, there were other factors that also had a role in leading to this, such as the weakness of Giolitti’s Liberal government, the role of Socialism and Mussolini’s skill and opportunism. Overall, the growth in support played a very minor role in Mussolini’s appointment to power, and getting the position was mostly due to his ability to manipulate events to his advantage.…

    Benito Mussolini was the leader of the Fascist Party in Italy and he had always resisted codifying the principle of fascism, but when the Enciclopedia Italiana requested an article explaining fascism, he insisted on giving his process behind the way a country should be runned. The explanation of the principle of fascism was “The Doctrine of Fascism” published in 1932. Fascism is the idea of giving interest in economic, social, and military power to a dominant race or state lead by one leader. Fascism is used to categorize censorship and oppression. Benito believed in one ruler and all the other political parties were banned in Italy. In Italy everything was made to favor the fascist government.

    It was at this time when small, pro nationalist groups began to spread all over Italy under the new name of the fascist party which was under the control of one Benito Mussolini. He swiftly began to increase in popularity and he would stop at nothing to get to the top of the political ladder. This-in conjunction to the rest of his life-can be used to make a judgement on whether Benito Mussolini was a man who cared for the renewal of his country and or if he believed that all men were expendable for his well-being. Many historians have come to the conclusion that he was a vein man of evil as he invaded defenceless nations such as Ethiopia in the name of establishing fascism within East Africa. He became the accomplice of Adolf Hitler thereby disregarding the Jewish people. And finally his lust for power and greed brought about the timely fall of his fascist empire. Therefore, it can be said that Benito Mussolini was a vile and self-righteous…

    Over time there have been many dictators in the world. Today I will compare and contrast two of them, Fransisco Franco and Benito Mussolini. So let's jump right is with Franco. Franco was a Spanish general who, after the Spanish government began to fail in 1936, took up arms and rebelled against the government. It took him three years, and the help of other famous Fascists such as Hitler and Mussolini, but in 1939, he became the dictator of Spain, or El Caudillo (the leader) as most people referred to him as. Mussolini’s rise to power was a bit different from Franco’s, but it remained relatively the same. In 1919 Mussolini gathered right wing supporters and organized them into the fascist party. Then, Mussolini organized a paramilitary group…

    Mussolini’s father, Alessandro, was a part-time socialist journalist who raised his son to follow socialist values, and even took Mussolini to socialist party meetings. Mussolini was seemingly raised to get into politics, and would eventually become an active socialist himself. In 1912, Mussolini became an editor for a newspaper called “Avanti!”, and used his position and influence to further spread socialist principles. Mussolini quickly gained popularity among his readers, and circulation for the newspaper doubled. Initially opposed to Italy’s intervention in World War One, Mussolini changed his mind when he was influenced by Karl Marx’s decree that social revolution usually follows war. Due to being publicly in favor of the war, he was expelled from the Socialist Party, and would shortly after volunteer to fight in the war. As a sharpshooter, Mussolini was quickly promoted to Corporal, however was forced to resign after suffering an injury in battle. At the end of his military career, Mussolini quickly entered politics; however had different ideologies then previously. Mussolini advocated the placement of a dictator, someone with the power to resolve the economic and political issues that was impacting Italy at the…

    Benito Mussolini was given power to take charge of the government because he was the best hope for the dynasty at the time for Italy. As soon as he was the leader, he abolished democracy and outlawed all political parties except the Fascists. He maintained power by creating the secret police, imposed censorship and travel restrictions, and kept close control of the economy. Joseph Stalin became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1929 because they were experiencing multiple revolutions and a civil war. He became a communist dictator; private farms were eliminated in favor of collective farms, millions of peasants were killed on his order, and he secured the Soviet control of the countryside. He maintained power by using interrogation and murder to intimidate his enemies and the general public. Adolf Hitler was a politician who volunteered for the German Army in World War I and was twice awarded the Iron Cross, a medal for bravery. The German brand of fascism was known as Nazism, it was supported by people in the middle and lower classes. Soon Hitler’s success as an organizer and speaker led him to be the leader of the Nazi party. Very quickly the Nazi’s became the largest political party. Hitler acted quickly to strengthen his position; his methods of control were fear and intimidation. He banned unions and other political parties, conducted secret trials, and persecuted enemies. He made anti-Semitism an official policy (blamed Jews for all of Germany’s problems) and made clear the Germans were the master race, “Aryans”. The rise of totalitarian dictators was one of the supreme changes in the history of the world since the…

    Both German fascism, led by Adolf Hitler and Italian fascism, led by Benito Mussolini exploited many economical and political difficulties within their nation in order to gain power. Hitler blamed Germany's ruined economy on the Weimar Republic, Communists, and Jews, while Mussolini blamed large Socialist and Catholic parties for Italy's economic struggles. They also gained the support of farmers, small businessmen, civil servants, and young people by advocating strict nationalistic goals and blaming their economic troubles on the Bolsheviks.

    Hitler and Mussolini were raised in the same times. Hitler was born on the 20th April 1889, while older Mussolini was born on the 29 July 1883. As history has taught us, it was Mussolini who influenced Hitler dictatorship-based policy. Therefore it is apparent that Mussolini must have reached power first, and it happened in 1922 when he became the Prime Minister of Italy. Eleven years later, in 1933, Hitler was nominated as the Chancellor of Germany. There are many similarities in these two infamous individuals, yet there are some differences.…

    When Benito Mussolini concluded his violent and semi-legal seizure of power in Italy on the 29th October 1922, the Fascist era began in victory as crowds of Blackshirts rushed to the capital to celebrate their leader. The aim of this essay is to explain the Fascists’ rise to power in Italy. Thus, whilst the highly repressive nature of Fascism cannot be understated, this essay will focus solely on Italy before Mussolini seized control. Why was Italy the first European country to succumb to Fascism? What factors in her development meant that people were willing to toss aside liberal parliamentary democracy…
