A Short History of Mussolini and Fascism | TIKhistory WW2 Q&A 18

Benito Mussolini was extremely popular during the interwar period, both at home and abroad. He inspired millions with his political ideology - Fascism. Yet just a few years later he would be arguably one of the most hated men in history. What happened? Let's find out. #Mussolini #WW2 Sources and notes will be in the PINNED COMMENT.

No seriously, what is it?" https://youtu.be/PvpJEc-NxVc History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do. This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
