Benito Mussolini Throughout history, leaders have led their nations through uprisings and downfalls. Some leaders have even turned against their countries by putting their citizens in compromising situations. Benito Mussolini can be seen as a leader who brought many victories to his country.

Germany, in particular, was entirely blamed for WWI and had to carry out the economic consequences by itself because of the Treaty of Versailles. Cuba and Russia’s fascist governments…

Although Hitler’s grip on Germany was much tighter than Mussolini’s grip on Italy, they were, in essence, more alike than different due to their similar rightist political views and their policies intended for controlling the masses, which were established upon their fascist ideals.

Captain Delano appears to be a naïve sea captain because he does not put together the puzzle pieces of the strange behavior of the San Dominick’s crew and history as quickly as one would expect.
