Mussolini’s road to a dictatorship took much longer than Hitler’s in 1933. Hitler was appointed chancellor on January 30th 1933. By April 1st 1933, his power was such that, after the Enabling Act, Hitler could only be seen as the dictator of Nazi Germany regardless of Hindenburg’s presidency. Mussolini’s public posturing and boasts did not guarantee loyalty in Italy – hence why it was so important for him to establish a relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. He only gained what could be described as dictatorial powers after the Lateran Treaty whereby he could guarantee loyalty from those Catholics who may well have not been supporters of the fascist state in Italy.

Mussolini took years to achieve what could be defined as a dictatorship. He achieved some semblance of power after the March on Rome in 1922 when he was appointed Prime Minister of Italy. But his government contained a mixture of men with different political beliefs – similar to Hitler’s position in January 1933.

But his time in power almost collapsed after the murder of Matteotti when great anger gripped Italy. If he had been a true dictator in 1922, then such an uproar would never have happened as his enemies and the Italian people in general would have been cowed into submission.

Mussolini started his time in power by buying support from both the working class and the industrial bosses.

The workers were promised an eight hour day while an enquiry into the profits made by the industrialists during World War One was dropped. The rich benefited from a reduction in death duties – now, under Mussolini, more of what someone had earned during their lifetime, went to their family and not the government. To get support from the Roman Catholic Church, religious education was made compulsory in all elementary schools.

These policies can be seen as an attempt to ‘buy’ support. As an example, in 1933 Hitler introduced workers holidays into Germany (similar to a bank holiday). This was very popular. He then almost immediately banned trade unions which protected workers rights. Any protests over this were banned as a result of the Enabling Act – Hitler did not bargain with anyone. Mussolini was not in a position whereby he could assert his authority and it is probable that the extent of his dictatorial powers never did equal those acquired by Hitler.

Mussolini had never intended to share power with the liberals who were in the government. He introduced a Fascist Grand Council which would decide policy for Italy without consulting the non-fascists in the government first.

In February 1923, Mussolini and the Fascist Grand Council introduced the Acerbo Law. This law changed election results. Now if one party got just 25% (or more) of the votes cast in an election, they would get66%of the seats in parliament.

When it came for Parliament to vote on the Acerbo Law, many politicians agreed to a law that would almost certainly end their political careers if they were not fascists. Why did they do this?

The gallery in the hall in which the politicians voted was filled with armed fascist thugs who had a good view of anybody who spoke out against the law. The threat was clear and real. If you voted for the law, you would be fine. If you did not, then you were certainly in danger from fascist thugs.

Mussolini did say in the spring of 1924 that “a good beating did not hurt anyone.”

How did the treaty of Versailles directly impact Germany and set the stage for hitlers ideas ?

patriot [66]

First of all, the Treaty of Versailles drafted and signed to bring World War I to a legal conclusion imposed heavy conditions to the German economy for it bound Germany to pay the expenses that the Allied powers had incurred in to finance their war effort and the reparation of damages caused by the German armed forces against private individuals during the war. This clause of the treaty effectively crushed the German economy and led to a high rate of unemployment and political turmoil. Also, Germany armed forces were ordered to be drastically curtailed by setting a limit of 100,000 men for the German Army (including non commissioned and commissioned officers), 3 old warships for coastguard duties and the use of tanks and aircraft was prohibited. Furthermore, a clause of the treaty prohibited Germany to keep any military personnel in Rhineland, a region on the French-German border, as a safety measure for France.

Right after the end of the war, the German people would see their soldiers return home carrying their weapons and gear, which puzzled many Germans since the return of so many soldiers carrying their uniforms and equipment led them to believe that the German armed forces were still in good combat condition (otherwise, they argued, they would have returned in shabby uniforms and most of them unarmed). This gross misinterpretation of the war situation in 1918 led to the baseless "stab in the back" theory, which stated that someone in the High Command had cowered and betrayed the German armed forces by ordering them to surrender when they were about to win the war. Actually, the entry of the U.S. in the war had flooded the battlefronts with millions of well-equipped and well-supplied soldiers, plus the U.S. industry was also providing supplies such as ammunition, weapons and food for the British and French armies, and the only reason for the relative inactivity in the Western Front during November 1918 was that the Allies were piling up massive amounts of manpower and supplies to launch a spring offensive in 1919 and run over the German troops, at the time, facing shortages of all kinds of supplies. Hitler made extensive use of this theory in order to speak and act against the humiliating Treaty of Versailles, which earned him the admiration of most Germans.

Overall, the speeches of Hitler on his path to the absolute power in Germany were based on statements about having Germany ignore the treaty (even though, theoretically, a failure by Germany to comply with the treaty would be met with a military intervention by Britain and France against Germany) and restoring the former glory of Germany. Once in power, Hitler gradually violated article after article of the Treaty of Versailles, much to the German's people joy, and went ahead with his plans of expansion and the like because he clearly realized that Britain and France were undergoing severe economic crises and were unwilling and unable to go to war.
