Download or read book Mussolini Fascism Interlink Illustrated Histories written by Marco Palla and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 29, 1922, while the fascist squads marched through the streets of Rome, the king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel III, gave Benito Mussolini the mandate to form a new government. Many believed the fascist period in power would not last long. But the reality turned out quite differently. The march on Rome of the black shirts dealt a decisive blow to the fragile liberal democracy. The murder of Matteotti, the attempt to create a totalitarian state, the annihilation of the opposition, the alliance with Hitler, and the wars in Ethiopia and Spain were the most significant steps of the long journey of the Italian people through dictatorship. Ending with the disaster of the Second World War and the tragic finale of the Republic of Salò, it was an experience that would mark the history of the 20th century and throw its shadow across post-war Italy.

Download or read book Mussolini and Fascist Italy written by Martin Blinkhorn and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this concise introduction, based on the most recent research in Italian and English, Martin Blinkhorn sets out to explain the significance of the movement which came to dominate Italian life between 1922 and the Second World War. He examines its origins in the context of the economic problems of post Risorimento Italy and the social and political convulsions wrought by economic change after 1890. This is the essential backgound to the movement's acquisition of power and firm establishment of the Fascist regime of 1925. Dr. Blinkhorn traces the regime's history until its demise during the Second World War, analyzing specifically Mussolini's role, the structure of the Fascist state and the fluid and often contradictory nature of Fascism itself.

Download or read book Mussolini written by Christopher Hibbert and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-07-22 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his signature insight and compelling style, Christopher Hibbert explains the extraordinary complexities and contradictions that characterized Benito Mussolini. Mussolini was born on a Sunday afternoon in 1883 in a village in central Italy. On a Saturday afternoon in 1945 he was shot by Communist partisans on the shores of Lake Como. In the sixty-two years in between those two fateful afternoons Mussolini lived one of the most dramatic lives in modern history.

This book examines Mussolini's legacy and reveals why he continues to be both revered and reviled by the Italian people.
Download or read book Italian Fascism written by Alexander J. De Grand and published by Bison Books. This book was released on 1989 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 29, 1922, when Benito Mussolini completed his seizure of power in Italy, the Fascist era began in triumph. It ended some twenty-two years later with the execution of Mus-solini and the collapse of the German-sponsored Italian Social Republic. In this second edition of Italian Fascism, as in the first Alexander De Grand disagrees with recent interpretations of the movement as "revolutionary," "leftist," a model for later Third World modernizing dictatorships. Instead, he sees it as a bourgeois response to the challenge of proletarian revolution and an approach to the problem of conservative control in an era of mass politics. For the second edition De Grand has substantially revised his discussion of culture and ideology as well as the Conclusion and has enlarged the bibliography. Incorporating the most re-cent research, this introduction to Italian Fascism reinterprets an important development in modern history.

Download or read book Lenin and the Russian Revolution written by Antonella Salomoni and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1917, the immense centuries-old empire of the Czars, which had entered into war against Germany and Austria-Hungary in alliance with Britain and France, suddenly collapsed. Eight months later,Bolshevik revolutionaries under Lenin's leadership, took power and an armistice with Germany was signed.Few would have bet on the government of inexperienced Bolsheviks against the White Russian counter-revolutionaries sustained by the West. But the mobilisation of the population, the power of the Red Army and the political police and the experience the communists had gained dur-ing the war, together with Lenin's skills in directing the new political economy, allowed the new regime to strengthen its hold on Russia.By the time of Lenin's death on 21 January 1924 the continued existence of the communist regime was assured although Stalin's rise to promi-nence meant that the nature of communist power was very different from that envisaged by the heroes of the October Revolution.Antonella Salomoni was educated at the University of Bologna. She teaches history and contributes regularly to international journals.
Download or read book Fascist Voices written by Christopher Duggan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascist Voices is a fresh and disturbing look at a country in thrall to a charismatic dictator. Tracing fascism from its conception to its legacy, Christopher Duggan unpicks why the regime enjoyed so much support among the majority of the Italian people. He examines the extraordinary hold the Duce had on Italy and how he came to embody fascism. By making use of rarely examined sources, such as letters and diaries, newspaper reports, secret police files, popular songs and radio broadcasts, Duggan explores how ordinary people experienced fascism on a daily basis; how its ideology influenced politcs, religion and everyday life to the extent that Mussolini's legacy still lingers in Italy today.

Download or read book The Spanish Civil War written by Gabriele Ranzato and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 17, 1936, Spain suddenly breaks onto the world scene when a group of generals rebels against the legitimate Republican government. The youngest, Francisco Franco, stands out among them. It might have been just another of the many military uprisings characterizing Spanish history, but this time the rebels receive the immediate support of Hitler and Mussolini. The world takes sides: Stalin and the Communist International line up alongside the Popular Front government, which is only lukewarmly supported by France and England. What was just a failed coup thus leads to a long war, in which thousands of volunteers fight and die. The world interprets the war as a struggle between fascism, communism and democracy. But the war is first of all a civil war, in which the two faces of Spain confront each other: on one hand the rural, nationalist, Catholic country, and on the other, the metropolitan, secular, Republican one. The terrible fighting — as in every civil war — lowers the level of civilization on both sides. For three long years, Spain offers a scene that prefigures the future horrors of World War II, before the country finally sinks into dictatorship.
