Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco: The History of Europe’s Other Fascist Dictators
It’s easy to forget how young Italy was when Benito Mussolini was born on July 29, 1883. It is hard to conceive a territory with such a long and ancient history was once young and troubled with constant conflict and instability. Similar to Germany, Italy was unified in 1861, but contrary to its northern cousin, its previous history was one of separation. Italy had no great romantic idea of a “Great Germany,” keeping it unified even during the wars between city-states. Benito Mussolini was born and raised in a highly volatile environment where ideas already considered extreme by most contemporary observers, such as Socialism, would undergo a deep and violent transformation. Mussolini would ride that wave to power, and he would hold it for decades as he opportunistically tried to strengthen Italy’s position and empire. That would lead him to foreign interventions in Africa, and eventually an alliance with Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler, ultimately costing him everything and devastating his country throughout World War II.
Born in the last decade of the 19th century, Francisco Franco was nevertheless synonymous with a number of trends of the 20th. In particular, his life was intertwined with the extremist ideologies of the era, in particular fascism and communism, and later the Cold War between the West and the communist bloc. In essence, however, Franco was a military man. Franco – although relatively restrained politically during the period – stood for order and maintaining the army’s role in Spanish society. When a group of officers launched a rebellion in July 1936, Franco quickly joined the army’s uprising and rapidly rose to the top of the nationalist’s chain of command. After his victory in the Spanish Civil War, Franco used political ideas and ideology as it suited him, though he did seem to advocate conservatism, militarism, Catholicism and monarchism.
