In 1922 October, there were extensive riots in the rural countryside of Northern Italy and there was widespread fear of a communism takeover during these riots, which King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy was not happy about.
Mussolini gathered his Fascist followers and foot soldiers known as the "Black shirts" and staged a march on Rome. Once there, King Victor asked him to form a government and restore order in the countryside. Over the next three years, Mussolini dismantled the democracy that prevailed at the time and in 1925 declared himself a dictator of Italy giving himself the title " Duce" which means "The Leader."

The ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek civilizations are two of the oldest known civilizations in our history. The Egyptian civilization, based in the eastern part of North Africa, is believed to have started around 3150 BC and continued till the end of the Pharaoh rule in 31 BC. The ancient Greek civilization is believed to have been in effect from 1100 BC till about 146 BC. Many similarities and differences existed between these two civilizations, as even though they co-existed during a certain timeframe (1150 BC to 146 BC), they were located in different geographical areas. Because of these differences in geography, both these civilizations were subjected to different kinds of exposure, which included contact with other civilization and cultural inheritance. In the political sphere, we find that the Egyptian civilization had stronger emphasis on central authority, while the Greeks had a more decentralized structure, where powers were distributed over the cities and the states as well. As far as art is concerned, we find that the Egyptians were more involved in creating great monumental and gaudy structures, while the Greeks were more involved in creating smaller, more literary pieces of art.
One of the biggest reasons why these two civilizations had these differences is due to their geography. The Egyptians had easy access to large stones that they could bring in to their country and use them to erect such monumental structures. Many scholars believe that it was their power structure and the lust of large buildings that caused the Egyptians to develop a class system where they had to gather mass laborers to work for them. This can also be attributed to the Egyptians have a very strong bureaucracy and a strictly centralized government system. These differences can also be attributed to the difference in religious beliefs of the two civilizations, as the Egyptians had a very strong believe in the after-life and they built all their large pyramids and structures in order to help their dead find a better life after death. The Greeks lacked such beliefs and this is why their social structure was very different from the Egyptians

The quick formation of an effective government in California was essential because of the desire of antislavery forces to gain a new state for their cause.
We are talking about the moment in history when California was accepted as part of the Union after the United States acquired a big portion of the former Mexican territory after winning the Mexican-American War
The admission of California as a free state threatened to upset the balance of power and violate the Missouri compromise.
In a time where northerners and southerners fought for power and control, California was admitted to the Union as a free state on September 9, 1850. More differences were generated between both sides regarding slavery. Let's not forget that the Missouri Compromise of 1820, had created legislation that admitted Missouri as a slave state but also admitted Main as a free state, in order to balance powers.
