Mussolini: Son of the Century

Mussolini has just founded the Fasces of Combat when D’Annunzio takes Fiume. Mussolini hopes to exploit the feat of his poet on the field.

The elections have decreed the absolute victory of the socialists. Mussolini seems finished, but landowners and industrialists seek his help against the strikes.

With his entry into Parliament, Mussolini wants to change: to be more strategic, diplomatic, a true statesman. But the black shirts rebel.

Following strikes and protests, the King excludes the socialists from the government. Mussolini threatens a fascist insurrection, in an attempt to take everything.

Mussolini wants a new electoral law that will guarantee him an absolute majority. But Don Sturzo, the leader of the Catholics, opposes it.
