The Megalomaniac Who Inspired World War 2

In a way, Benito Mussolini shaped both the beginning and end of WW2 in Europe. His heavy-handed governance inspired that of Adolf Hitler, while the frenetic nature of his demise drove Hitler to his ultimate doom.

About 6 months ago I watched a WW2 documentary on Mussolini, based on what I remember he took ahold of Italy in a time when the country was falling apart unfortunately he created an army that could not fight and subsequently lost every battle they entered in to.
Great article Annihilator.

Mussolini may have been an inspiration but the seeds of WW2 were planted in the Treaty of Versailles, the Washington Conferencem and Washington Naval Treaty, also known as the Five-Power Treaty (1921–22).
