Stalin was consolidating his power in the Soviet Union; Benito Mussolini was trying to start a totalitarian regime in Italy.
By 1921, Mussolini had established the Fascist Party.
In October 1922, Mussolini marched on Rome with thousands of followers. They wore black uniforms; therefore, they got the name “Black Shirts.”
Benito Mussolini names himself Il Duce, which means “the leader.”
