Benito Mussolini was the founder of Fascism, a political movement that dominated Italy from 1922 to 1943. Inspired by nationalism, populism and violence, Mussolini sought to restore the grandeur of the Roman Empire by conquering territories in Africa and Europe. But his expansionist and repressive policies led to numerous mass crimes and human rights violations, particularly against political opponents, colonized populations and Jews.
These included the massacre of thousands of Ethiopians during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, the use of chemical weapons and the creation of concentration camps where Italian soldiers carried out summary executions.
He was also responsible for the deportation and extermination of thousands of Slovenes in camps such as Rab, through a scorched-earth policy and reprisals against partisans.
Not to mention the persecution and exile of homosexuals, considered a threat to the Italian race.
Finally, allied with Hitler during the Second World War, Mussolini participated in the Holocaust, passing anti-Semitic laws and handing over Jews to the Nazis...
In this video, we take a look back at Mussolini's career, his rise to power in Italy and the consequences of his regime for Italians and the rest of the world...
