User:Kurtis/History of Italy under Benito Mussolini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The history of Italy under Benito Mussolini spans a period of roughly two decades. Italy was still a Kingdom during this time, and its politics took place within the framework of a constitutional monarchy. Mussolini served as the head of government under Victor Emmanuel III from 1922 until his deposition and arrest in 1943. He was subsequently freed from prison by the invading German forces and installed as the nominal leader of the Italian Social Republic, a position he held until his summary execution in 1945 by Italian partisans.
