Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. You in America will see that some day.” – Mussolini
It’s easy to forget how young Italy was when Benito Mussolini was born on July 29, 1883. It is hard to conceive a territory with such a long and ancient history was once young and troubled with constant conflict and instability. Similar to Germany, Italy was unified in 1861, but contrary to its northern cousin, its previous history was one of separation. Italy had no great romantic idea of a “Great Germany,” keeping it unified even during the wars between city-states. Benito Mussolini was born and raised in a highly volatile environment where ideas already considered extreme by most contemporary observers, such as Socialism, would undergo a deep and violent transformation.
Mussolini would ride that wave to power, and he would hold it for decades as he opportunistically tried to strengthen Italy’s position and empire. That would lead him to foreign interventions in Africa, and eventually an alliance with Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler, ultimately costing him everything and devastating his country throughout World War II.
