Mussolini
Italy gained its unification in 1870, and ruled as a constitutional democracy. Unfortunately the government was corrupt and ruled by a party called " the party bosses", they were a group of corrupt politicians that were more interested in personal gains then national ones. By 1914 Italy was poor economically and was in desperate need for leadership. Italy's government struggled to tackle its national problems, leaving the Italian people more and more dissatisfied and looking closer to a revolution. By 1920 Italy was in total disarray, the fanciest party (lead by Benito Mussolini) saw this as an advantage and took the hearts and minds of the Italian people, promising better lives and solutions to all their problems.
