It was the treaty signed with Germany in 1936 and Italy’s entering the war on Germany’s side in 1940 that would destroy Italy and seal Mussolini’s negative impact on the country. Italy was defeated in the war as Allied forces invaded Italy from the south.
Italian forces were left inadequate from both the Ethiopian War and the Italian involvement in the Spanish Civil War. Finally, Victor Emmanuel called for Mussolini to resign in 1943.
After living in northern Italy until the war’s end in a “Fascist Republic” that he had created on German occupied lands, Mussolini was killed trying to escape in 1945 and his corpse was set on display in the center of Milan.
Mussolini had neither a specific nor adequate plan in his attempt to create a Fascist Italy. His impact on the country may be seen as remotely positive and slightly effective in that he established a positive relation between church and state.
During his dictatorship Mussolini’s impact on Italy was in creating a totalitarian state. How can a restricted society be seen as anything of a positive nature?
Furthermore, Mussolini’s resulting impact on Italy between 1922 and 1945 is extremely detrimental: he left the economy as disheveled as it was when he came into power and he exposed the country to the losing side during World War II.
But perhaps the only positive impact that he truly had on the country was long term in that Italy must have realized that she would never again want a dictatorship.
