Explanation
The Italian dictator Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (1883-1945) was the leader of the fascist party and also known as "Il Duce". At the beginning of his career he was a socialist but he was thrown out because he supported the Italian participation on the First World War. In 1921 he created the Fascist Party and created a fascist state by using terror and propaganda. Furthermore he dreamed of establishing an Italian imperium and in 1936 he became to work close with Adolf Hitler.
