Detailed explanation-1: -The fascists also appealed to Italians’ desire for social security, solidarity, and protection from capitalist crises. They promised therefore to restore order, protect private property, and promote prosperity but also shield society from economic downturns and disruption.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fascism outwardly transformed Italian society, as evident in the creation of a one-party state, which claimed to penetrate all facets of life, whether the economy, education, leisure pursuits, or the family and private life.
Detailed explanation-3: -The final collapse of fascism, though set off when Mussolini’s frightened lieutenants threw him overboard, was brought about by allied military victories plus the open rebellion of the people. Among the latter the strikes of industrial workers in Nazi-controlled northern Italy led the way.
Detailed explanation-4: -why did fascism appeal to many Italians? First, it promised a strong, sta-ble government and an end to the political feuding that had paralyzed democracy in Italy. Mussolini projected a sense of power and confidence at a time of disorder and despair. Mussolini’s intense nationalism also revived national pride.
