The only thing that stopped his teachers from believing he was a star pupil though, was that he was a disobedient and disrespectful student. He was kicked out of multiple schools throughout his childhood due to misconduct and cases of extreme bullying]]> 2017-04-27 22:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168769746 marthasantanagarcia https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168769906 He rose to power when the Fascist political party came to power and he became prime minister of Italy in 1922; the youngest one at that.

The diplomatic way included getting the approval of the Roman Catholic Church which would sway a majority of Italy. The second method, the scare method, involved a volunteer militia called the Black Shirts who would harass and go after people that opposed Mussolini]]> 2017-04-28 00:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168779429 marthasantanagarcia https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168780911 Il Duce converted Italy into a Dictatorship little by little when he was in power. The way that government like these work is through force. Though Mussolini didn't force himself into power, he did change Italy to a single party state which helped keep him in power. He implemented tactics of fear such as the Black Shirts to quiet those who opposed  him. By that point, it became a dictatorship because he tried and did everything in his power to stay in his position]]> 2017-04-28 01:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168780911 marthasantanagarcia https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168782590 Mussolini had three major policies that he wanted to implement during his regime. The policies were called the three wars. The first one is the Battle for Land. This one entailed getting rid of the marsh lands of Italy to make room for agricultural advancements. His second one was called the Battle of the Lira. The lira was the national currency of Italy at the time and Mussolini wanted to increase the value of it through inflation that left many Italians without work. The final one was the Battle for Grain which was all about growing Italy's economy to be near self sustaining. He went about this by planting and growing immense amounts of grain crops. All three of these policies tied into his main plan, to attack the power of economic trade unions which meant that he controlled the entire working population of Italy.]]> 2017-04-28 01:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168782590 marthasantanagarcia https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168788666 2017-04-28 02:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168788666 marthasantanagarcia https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168790303 2017-04-28 02:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168790303 marthasantanagarcia https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168794552 was about the Ten years of the Fascist revolution]]> 2017-04-28 03:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168794552 marthasantanagarcia https://padlet.com/marthasantanagarcia/d6eqg2m97pox/wish/168794706 " But it is from a human point of view, because the thought that a family may suffer, causes myself a physical suffering because I know, I know because I've experienced it, what it means... what the deserted home and the bare table mean. Comrades of Turin, this really wonderful communion of spirits, for which at this moment we are one, just one heart and one soul, [we] cannot end [this] without turning our thoughts, with deep devotion, to his majesty the king, who embodies the continuity, the vitality, the holiness of the fatherland.
