Benito Mussolini [1883-1945] Italian Fascist leader and dictator. In 1919 he organized his staunchly nationalistic followers, who wore black shirts as uniforms and practiced terrorism in armed groups. In 1921 he was elected to Parliament and founded the National Fascist party. He gradually created a dictatorship and ended parliamentary government (1928). In 1929 he concluded the Lateran Treaty with the Vatican. His imperialistic designs led to the conquest of Ethiopia (1935-36) and the occupation of Albania (1939). He signed (1939) an alliance with Nazi Germany, but Italy's involvement in World War II was a military failure in Greece and N Africa. The imminent Allied invasion of the Italian mainland led to a rebellion within the Fascist party. The king dismissed Mussolini and had him imprisoned, but the Germans made him a puppet ruler in N Italy. On the German collapse (1945) Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans, summarily tried, and executed
