The interwar period in Italy, spanning from 1918 to 1939, was marked by significant political, social, and economic upheaval following World War I. The dissatisfaction with the post-war settlement, economic instability, and social unrest contributed to the rise of Benito Mussolini and the Fascist Party, which established a totalitarian regime in 1922. This era saw aggressive nationalism, the suppression of dissent, and the implementation of state-controlled policies. Mussolini's regime ultimately sought to expand Italy's imperial ambitions, leading to military conflicts and aligning with Nazi Germany, setting the stage for World War II.
