| | History of Italy as a monarchy and in the World Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Until 1922, Italy was a constitutional monarchy with a parliament, mostly elected with restricted suffrage (in 1913, the first universal male suffrage election was held). | | | The architect of Italian unification was Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, the Chief Minister of Victor Emmanuel. | | | Over the next few years, Mussolini (who became known as "Il Duce", the leader) eliminated all political parties (including the liberals) and curtailed personal liberties under the pretext of preventing revolution. |

Roosevelt. | | | There is little debate over Slovakia, where the fascist dictator was a Catholic monsignor; and the Independent State of Croatia, where the fascist Ustashe identified itself as a Catholic movement. |

| | The individual and his fascist state are inseparable. | | | The state's monopoly on power and coercion effectively translated to a monopoly for the fascist party since no other party was permitted. | | | The party monopoly of power is not a part of fascist ideology, but it is the most important inference from it. |
