Italian Dictator in the Italian peninsula during 1920's to mid 1940's. Before he established the party "Fascismo" he was a part of the Italian Socialist Party. After seeing Europe plunge into the Great War, the Socialist party was heavily against the war while Mussolini was inspired by it; his vision of spreading his ideals through war. He was kicked out of the party shortly after. He founded his party, the National Fascist Party of Italy. Soon after, Adolf Hitler followed in his footsteps. The era of fascism in Europe had begun, all due to some bald man with a wide jaw-line and a mad painter who didn't get accepted into art school.
