Further Explanation: -

The fascist ideology is based on the concept of authoritarianism, which gave the government almost complete control over all affairs concerning the State. Fascism is based on extreme nationalism, which meant that love for the country would surpass anything else. The interests of the country, the expansion of the power of the country, economic development, a strong leader at the head of the government and complete control of public life formed the basic tenets of fascism. Mussolini believed that the Government would have complete control over the political, economic and foreign affairs of the state, and the number of civil liberties and rights of freedom enjoyed by citizens would be completely under state discretion and supervision.  

Benito Mussolini, the father of Fascism was an aggressive politician with a strong authoritarian character. He was deeply disappointed by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which did not reward Italy enough in spite of her efforts in the First World War on behalf of the Allied Powers. Italian economy was in a disarray from the damages of the war, and Mussolini’s campaign attacked the trade unions and syndicates, who held frequent strikes. He believed that a strong economy would boost Italy’s image, and revive the Lira. His extreme brand of nationalism gave him immense popularity among the people, who believed in his vision of making Italy a great power. Mussolini believed that the State was an individual’s first priority, and the civil liberties of citizens would be under state control and surveillance. The defeat of Italy in the Second World War led to the fall of Mussolini and the end of Fascism.
