During 1925 to 1927, Mussolini took away all constitutional restrictions to the power of the leader. This allowed him to do anything that he wanted to while he was the leader. His political party was with the fascists and his goal was to create a country that only had citizens that were extremely nationalistic. Before Mussolini came to power, Italy was in a small economic depression. This type of depression allowed for Mussolini to come to power and change the democratic government to a totalitarian state. Mussolini ruled Italy very securely. His followers were called the "Black Shirts" (Lapsansky-Werner 437). He outlawed all political parties and imprisoned most people who opposed him or tried to run against him. Mussolini used many methods of terror to keep the citizens of Italy in line, but he did not try to control of the media. Mussolini tried to stay out of the wars because he knew that Italy 's military was not strong enough, which is also why he decided to side with Germany during the war. There were multiple revolutions during his reign as dictator, but eventually Mussolini was ousted as leader (Bio.com
