What is true of mussolini?
As an AI language model, I cannot determine the context of the question or what is meant by "true of Mussolini." However, here are some general facts about Benito Mussolini, the Italian politician and dictator:
- Mussolini was born in 1883 in Predappio, a small town in central Italy.
- He was a socialist activist in his youth and even edited a socialist newspaper, but later became a fascist and founded the fascist party in Italy in 1919.
- Mussolini rose to power in 1922 after the March on Rome, where his followers marched on the capital and demanded that he be made Prime Minister.
- Once in power, Mussolini instituted a authoritarian regime that curtailed civil liberties, suppressed political opposition, and fostered cult of personality around himself.
- Italy allied with Nazi Germany during World War II, but Mussolini's military campaigns were mostly unsuccessful and he was eventually dismissed by the Italian king in 1943.
- Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans in April 1945 and executed by firing squad, along with his mistress Claretta Petacci, on April 28, 1945. Their bodies were hung upside down in a public square in Milan as a warning to other fascists.
