Military opposition was also punished/ perceived opponents killed off!
The day before Hindenburg's death in August 1934, the cabinet had enacted a law abolishing the office of president, combining its powers with those of the chancellor. Hitler thus became head of state as well as head of government and was formally named leader and chancellor. As head of state, Hitler became supreme commander of the armed forces.
Belief, Ideas and Programs
Benito Mussolini was often considered the father of fascism
Rise to Power
The Fascist party was created in hopes of giving support to the ex-soldiers who fought in the war.
He was a very devoted socialist
He organized a paramilitary unit known as the "Black Shirts," who terrorized political opponents and helped increase Fascist influence.
As Italy slipped into political chaos, Mussolini declared that only he could restore order and was given the authority in 1922 as prime minister.
He gradually dismantled all democratic institutions. By 1925, he had made himself dictator, taking the title "Il Duce" ("the Leader").
Mussolini carried out an extensive public works program and reduced unemployment, making him very popular with the people.
