La Case du siècle - Season 14 Episode 27 Mussolini, the first fascist - Episode 1: The verb and the truncheon
An outstanding orator, Benito Mussolini seized Italy in October 1922, four years after the end of the First World War. The son of a far-left activist, he enjoyed the support of business circles and many veterans. By dangling the promise of a return to greatness before the Italian people, by repressing the communists and suppressing civil liberties, he won the admiration of many personalities in the 1920s, and reached the height of his popularity during the Ethiopian War in 1935. His fall was to be harsh.
