Benito Mussolini

Benito Mussolini is quite an unpopular figure in history. During the rise of fascism in Europe, he was also one such Fascist leader who founded the National Fascist Party. Mussolini came from humble beginnings and was born in a small Italian town. His father was a blacksmith, and his mother was a school teacher.

He paved the path for himself and became the Prime Minister of Italy from the ’20s through the early ’40s. In 1945, he attempted to flee the country, but partisans shot him. His body was hung upside down for public display, and Mussolini was disgraced at death.
