Abstract
The paper discusses the rise of fascism, beginning in 1922 until its fall in 1943. The paper explains that in order for a fascist power to control Italy, there was a specific socio-economic environment that enabled it to flourish. It explains that after World War I, there was a growing tide of unemployment and depression, which created the environment that allowed fascism to be established and to spread throughout all of Italy. The paper details the rise of Mussolini. In conclusion, the writer explains that fascism obtained power not through revolution, but as a result of evolution - Italian fascism was opportunistic and spread to encompass those who opposed its rise.
From the Paper
"The rise of Mussolini to the premiership in 1922 established the first wave of fascism's rise to power. His ascendancy to dictatorship in 1925 established the second wave of Italian fascism. This was achieved through passage of a law in 1925 that granted total power to Mussolini. Political opposition and free trade unions were outlawed. The free press was censored with its takeover by the fascist. Local government officials were now appointed instead of elected. Extension of the government's power of arrest and detention established a police state. This was coupled with the increase in the use of the death penalty, the creation of a special court for trying political 'crimes', and the establishment of a secret police force, the OVRA."

Abstract
This paper examines how, to many people, Fascism after the Great War, offered an alternative to a narrowly based and discredited government on the one hand and, on the other, the upheaval of a socialist revolution. It looks at how the backbone of Fascism was the lower middle class and how this normally moderate and conservative sector of society had been destabilized by the process of industrialization and by the economic difficulties caused by the war. It discusses how this sector saw the Fascist movement as the long sought instrument of bourgeois resurgence, since it promised an end to industrial disruption and revolutionary socialism.
From the Paper
"Superficially, it may seem surprising that Fascism established itself so firmly in Italy, a state apparently founded until 1920 on liberal parliamentary principles and a modern constitutional monarchy. However, the liberal state confronted severe turmoil. The strict constitution applied, limited the electorate in 1870 to 2.2% of the population, therefore leaving the monarchic leaders with extensive powers. Similarly, Italy was Europe's youngest state by 1870, and its Risorgimento which was concerned with the consolidation and expansion of the Italian state, was only completed by that year with the occupation of Rome. However, public opinion was divided, there were idealists who aimed for a radical state directed by popular control, others wanted the creation of a United Italian state or the leadership of a conservative monarchy."

From the Paper
" Fascism is a political ideology that was tested in this century in Germany and Italy and that was thoroughly discredited in the eyes of the world by the conclusion of World War II. The form taken by fascism, as well as the impetus for its adoption, differed in Germany and Italy. Italian fascism was shaped by Benito Mussolini and his followers, while fascism in Germany was twisted to serve the needs and social and political beliefs of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. Attitudes toward other racial groups was one of the key differences, along with the emphasis placed on aspects of economic organization, social classes, and visions of society.
Eugen Weber makes a distinction between fascism, such as was seen in Italy, and National Socialism, the German manifestation. He believes that people tend to confuse the two. Yet, he also.."

From the Paper
"In 1922 the Fascist party, led by Benito Mussolini, gained political power in Italy and gradually changed the government into a one-party dictatorship under Mussolini's control. From that time until his death Mussolini's only interest was in holding on to power. He was willing to do whatever he had to do to keep power. He did not operate on the basis of any principles or beliefs that could not be adapted when it suited his purpose. Mussolini remained in power until he was thrown out after a number of Italian military disasters in World War II. The Nazis set him up as the head of a puppet state in Northern Italy, but when Mussolini tried to flee from the Allies he was captured by the Italian underground and executed. The attitude he expressed to the very end was that a better choice would have kept him in power longer. As the end grew near in 1944 Mussolini admitted he..."

Abstract
This paper presents some of the conditions that allowed Mussolini to come to power in Italy - originating at its unification. It discusses the complex interplay of different factors that Mussolini was able to gain power. These factors include the First World War and its aftermath and the nature of ?fascism? as a set of beliefs. It explains why Mussolini?s personal character and his personal and political background are also very important in understanding how he was able to come to power. The complex relationships between the different social and political groups in Italy before Mussolini came to power are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Nationalisation of Italy failed to create a truly unified state. There was little sense of national identity and many people more readily identified with their historic local region than the central government. This was obviously a big weakness in the new Italian state. Among those who did develop a sense of national identity there were immediate expectations of power and greatness. There was also a strong desire to compete with the fellow emerging ?new? European country, Germany. This led to a high level of dissatisfaction with the government and the weak monarchy. There was also a big divide economically and socially between the north and south of Italy. A large economic and political gap between the relatively advanced north and the rural south weakened Italy as a cohesive, unified state. "

Abstract
This paper explains that German and Italian history has always been intertwined, from the powerful Hapsburgs who ruled Austria, and thus much of Italy, to Mussolini and his alliance with Nazi Germany. The paper states that Germany's history has always revolved around power and control, and Italy has always been a weaker and less dominant country. The author concludes that it is not surprising that Germany and Italy had such close political ties because, historically, they were very much alike and faced many of the same historical struggles side by side.
From the Paper
"Eventually, Napoleon conquered Italy and Austria. Austria gained Venice, and many of Italy's cities joined and turned themselves into republics. France gained some of Northern Italy. "Thus in the short space of eighteen months the whole of Italy was transformed into a group of republics kept in existence by the presence of French armies." In time, the French were deposed, and Italy gained her freedom, but the treatment of Italy by France, who professed to "liberty and freedom," had been a time of oppression and violence, and it embittered Italians to the French. This hatred of the French was one thing that drew the Germans and Italians together in later history. However, while Napoleon ruled Italy for fourteen years, the lifestyle of most Italians improved, the feudal system disappeared, and improvements that are more modern came to the country, such as roads and bridges. France built up Italy much more than Austria did, but Austria still ruled much of Italy, and Austria also fought Napoleon, but not for revolution, but for liberation. "Thus, the War of Liberation (1812-14) against Napoleon became Germany's substitute for the national revolution; notably in Prussia, it hammered the king, the upper classes, and the people into one fatherland." Napoleon ultimately created a more unified Germany, and a more unified Italy, and both countries detested the French."

From the Paper
"Marxist-Leninist systems, such as Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China, and fascist systems, such as Mussolini's Italy, are theoretical opposites; hence their respective designations as "left-wing" and "right-wing." Yet Marxist-Leninist and fascist regimes share many of the same features, such as militarization, charismatic leadership, and the consolidation of power in one person. This paper will identify the common characteristics of Marxist-Leninism and fascism, and explain why the systems display such similarities.
In general, Marxism-Leninism and fascism are diametrically opposed. Marxist-Leninist thought calls for a revolution from below, in which the masses rise up to overthrow the capitalists and create a dictatorship of the proletariat. Wealth is redistributed so that everybody shares equally and classes are..."

From the Paper
"The Piedmont area of Italy is wine country and is noted for the merits of the wine produced by its vintners. Piedmont is in the northwest corner of Italy. It has no coastline and no large city to attract crowds. It is the home of Nebbiolo, the super-grape producing the most prestigious wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. In the north and west parts of Piedmont, there is usually a climate that is too harsh for vines, but grapes can ripen where only river valleys bring air movement and extra sunshine. The Nebbiolo zone features the flow of the Dora Baltea moving south through Ivrea. Most of the region's wines come from the south of Piedmont. Southeast of Turin the landscape is characterized by angular hills with straight rows of vines stretched horizontally across the slopes. The wine zones of Barolo and Barbaresco are on ... "

Italy's Role in the International System 1918-1945, 2006.

Abstract
During the period from 1918 to 1945, Italy's role in international affairs was over-shadowed by the machinations in Germany and Japan and, at the end, by the ascendancy of the United States and of the Soviet Union to superpower status. Be that as it may, Italy played a key role in setting off the powder keg that became international affairs during the inter-war years through its aggressive foreign policy. Moreover, Italian fascism, while not as vicious or as vehement as its German counterpart, was nonetheless an inspiration of sorts for Hitler. This paper briefly explores Italy's role in the world events of 1918 to 1945 and suggest that, especially in the late 1920s and 1930s, the Italian shadow across international trends was greater than has been commonly supposed.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although modern Italy is changing, today it is still a country not only separated by customs and even regional dialects between South (i.e. South of Rome) and North, (i.e. Piedmont, Tuscany, etc.) but also the life styles in the many small and even remote villages and the large metropolitan areas are very different. The author points out that the country mice from Italy's small towns and villages have become more competitive and yet they still are far from becoming the so-called "sophisticates" of the big cities. The paper relates that the country mouse in today's Italy want to go to towns because, in the last two decades, Italy's economy has shifted sharply to industrial and services, which are located in the towns where more jobs are found.
From the Paper
" Of course, what the Town mouse didn't mention about the advantages of the city was, in case that city was Milan, the mice could be outfitted in the most stylish fashions by some of the world's most respected designers. Milan has overtaken Paris for much of both the high-priced end, Versacci, Armani, Gucci, but in Northern Italy is the world's most successful low- and mid-priced firm, Bennetton. Perhaps both mice could become a sort of "gray" example of the Colors of Bennetton, an advertising campaign that, if not everyone agrees with it, certainly has people talking. And, the country mouse can brag that Bennetton started, and is still located in a small town not too far from Venice."

Italy's Economy, 2005.
This paper discusses the problem of Italy's economy and its relationship to political instability.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, unlike the prosperous nations of Europe that are experiencing economic upswings and political stability, although Italy's economy has improved in the past decade, the lira is depressed, unemployment remains high and politics are unstable. The author points out that, Italy, which is one of the most densely populated countries of Europe, is really two countries with the mostly agricultural south and the industrial north, each with its own economy, politics and, in some cases, even language. The paper states that Italy's increasing dependency on foreign trade is affecting the overall Italian economy the most because this makes her increasingly vulnerable to upheavals and disruptions in that trade.
From the Paper
"The political instability in the country sees governments rise and fall almost annually. Until recently, the Communists were still a strong influence, as was the Mafia, especially in South Italy and Sicily. It is difficult for long-term legislation to be signed, because as governments change and new ministers come into office, one does not know (or respect) the agreements made by his predecessor(s). The volatility of the governments has also fostered public discontent. Since becoming a republic after the fall of the monarchy at the end of World War II, Italy's Constitution has not served to stabilize politics or rule."
