This fascinating talk explores Mussolini\u2019s unlikely rise from relatively humble beginnings to absolute power. It examines the dramatic changes he imposed on Italy, the ambitions and disasters of his regime, and the startling details of his turbulent private life.<\/p>\n
The story concludes with Mussolini\u2019s fateful alliance with Hitler, Italy\u2019s descent into war, and his dramatic end at the hands of his own people in 1945.<\/p>\n
