In this essay I will talk about fascism in Italy, who Mussolini was, his influence among the Italian population and how far his power reached. Mussolini’s ascent to power was not the result of a single event but rather an endpoint of Italy’s post-World War I social, economic, and political crises. He skillfully manipulated these conditions, using violence and propaganda to solidify his leadership. However, while he established a dictatorial regime and expanded his control over Italian society, Mussolini's achievement of total power was not entirely successful as the Catholic Church retained influence. This essay will explore how Mussolini was able to achieve power in Italy and I will examine the extent to which he accomplished total power in Italy. , Happy, Dreamy,
