Fascist Italy
Il Duce's kingdom
Fascist Italy refers to Italy under the rule of Benito Mussolini and his National Fascist Party from 1922 to 1943.
The regime established the model for fascism that other movements emulated—one-party rule, nationalist mythology, corporatist economics, and suppression of dissent.
Fascist Italy allied with Nazi Germany in World War II.
The term distinguishes this era from democratic Italy before and after.
