About This Archive

Italian Fascism emerged in the aftermath of World War I as a radical nationalist movement that would fundamentally transform Italy and influence global politics for decades to come.

Founded by Benito Mussolini in 1919, Fascism began as a reaction to social unrest and perceived national humiliation, evolving into a totalitarian dictatorship that lasted until 1943. The regime's legacy includes aggressive militarism, colonial expansion, racial persecution, and catastrophic involvement in World War II.

This archive documents the key figures, pivotal events, and historical significance of this period, serving as an educational resource for understanding how democratic institutions can erode and authoritarian regimes can take hold.
