The kingdom of Italy was a fascist empire developed by Benito Mussolini, who believed in Fascism and rose into power by threatening the king of Italy. Fascist Italy tried reviving what they had back when the Roman Empire was the top dog, even if it meant committing war crimes and atrocities that some would argue are as bad as the Nazi war crimes during WW2. From siding with Nazi Germany during one of the bloodiest wars in history to invading a poorly equipped African nation, there is an abundant
"Fascism...was a super-relativist movement with no fixed principles, ready for almost any alliance." (Denis Mack Smith in 'Mussolini' - 1981) Background Italian unification was in 1861, from this point up until Mussolini came into power in 1922 Italy was ruled by 'parliamentary liberals.' Liberals had never solved the problems of the economically backward South, therefore they were resented there. It can be suggested that the liberal regimes did little to raise the standard of living for the

His methods to win power and glory for Italy were erratic and inconsistent. His first military involvement was in Corfu. In 1923, 5 Italian officers were shot by Greeks while drawing up a border between Greece and Albania. Mussolini used this as an excuse to attack and occupy Corfu. The
The life in which Benito Mussolini lived was different from those who were more behaved and mannered like polite young men were supposed to be. He as well changed the way life would be lived for the people who resided in Italy, as he brought Fascism to their each and everyone of their lives, under his command. Mussolini eventually became a leader in whom some people soon to aspire and follow his footsteps, some more evil than others. Growing up as a young boy in the late 1800’s, with having little

He believed that all Italian people should be free and that Italyshould not only be independent, but also an integrated republic. Italyhad been left completely fragmented by the settlements reached at Congress of Vienna in 1815. The congress had divided territory among the victors of the Napoleonic Wars.

unification of Italy. They all had different parts to play for the unification of Italy, whether it was creating or enacting out the plans for unifying Italy, being the whole life and soul of the plan to bring Italy together as one nation, or conquering other regions to force them into joining the Kingdom of Italy. This shows how all of these people had some significance when it came to gathering all neighboring regions and unifying them as one nation, however they were not the main reason that Italy became
this is determined by Italy's weak and foreign expansion policy. In 1871, the long-torn apartness of Italy achieved unity, providing favorable conditions for the development of capitalism.

Rome would go its neighboring city-states and give them two options: “...join us or die…” (Hamric). The vast majority
Before the mid-1800’s, Italy and Germany were split into many different republics, city-states, and principalities until two men unified each respective country. These men used every means available to them to unify their countries and further expand their realms as well as securing the safety of their country. They also, at times, worked together in order to expand and secure their borders specifically against the Austrians. Leading politicians Otto Von Bismarck and Camillo Cavour united their countries
Unification of Italy Q: Describe & Explain the Unification of Italy. The Unification of Italy divides in to 3 main stages: 1815-1830: Revolts all over Italy. Revolts are suppressed. 1848-1849: Revolts all over Italy.

The nation of Pisa and pasta wasn’t always united. For many centuries the Italian peninsula had been divided between kingdoms, city-states, and empires. Italy stands today as a nation thanks to Italian patriot, Giuseppe Garibaldi. Garibaldi was an Italian born under French rule who wished for Italy to be unified as a single nation, independent from the empires that controlled it. Through dedication and perseverance, he was able to make his dream a reality. Giuseppe Garibaldi has gone down into the
Unification of Italy and Germany By 1871 both the kingdom of Italy and the empire of Germany were united. Even though both countries used popular trends to that time, both liberalism and nationalism, the process unifying these two countries was very different. The end result was Germany emerging as a strong nation and Italy appropriately, the weaker. Italy’s problems started with the fact that it didn’t have one main ruler, but two people and a concept, resulting in a different approach to
Italy, before its process of revolution began, was mostly ruled by foreign powers and absolute monarchs. The country’s citizens decided they wanted a change in their government and freedom from the many rulers they experienced. In the beginning, the revolt was not organized and resulted in failure until they united and fought as one large group. With the help of some historical revolutionaries such as Mazzini, Garibaldi, Cavour and the combination of multiple independence wars, Italy finally saw
affects on Italy. The power of the Church and the Pope was reduced, changes were made in landownership and land was redistributed. A new middle class began to appear.

Italy is effectively working with The United States to promote stability, rule of law, freedom, and economic growth worldwide through national security, and Globalization.

Democracy seemed triumphant in the post-war world. Yet within two decades, many democratic countries in Europe were taken over by some kind of dictatorship. Italy became a fascist state. Italy achieved her unification in 1870. She had a constitutional monarchy like that of Great Britain, but democratic society failed to develop in Italy because the government was controlled by corrupt politicians, called the party bosses. They controlled the elections
Before 1860 Italy was a collection of independent states controlled by other European powers or the rich noble families of the region. After Napoleon’s defeat in 1815, the Congress of Vienna split Italy into eight independent states with major influences from the surrounding powers of Spain, France and especially Austria. Uprisings against the state governments swept the country, but were suppressed by the Habsbergs1 in Northern Italy. This however, was soon to change. Giuseppe Mazzini, Count Camilo
Charlemagne is often regarded as the greatest ruler of the Middle Ages (500-1500). He had created an empire that stretched from the North Sea to Italy (Monroe 13). Louis the Pious was Charlemagne’s only surviving son. This made things easy, because when the time came, Louis the Pious would be the clear choice for an heir. Louis the Pious reigned from 814 to 840 (Macmillan). The year was 840 AD, when Louis the Pious had died (Barraclough 14). What would become of Charlemagne’s vast empire? During
