Italian dictator Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) rose to power in the wake of WWI as a leading proponent of fascism. Originally a Revolutionary Socialist, he forged the paramilitary fascist movement in 1919 and became prime minister in 1922. Mussolini's military expenditures in Libya, Somalia, Ethiopia and Albania made Italy predominant in the Mediterranean region, though they exhausted his armed forces by late 1930s. Mussolini allied himself with Hitler, relying on the German dictator to prop u his leadership during WWII, but he was killed shortly after the German surrender in Italy in 1945.
