Week 2 Assignment: Essay – Video Analysis

The video gives information regarding the rise of Benito Mussolini and how he fell. It

explains why Mussolini was seen as the pioneer among dictators in the 20th century. He was

dismissed as a clown, a small league dictator who ruled in the shadow of Stalin and Hitler. In any

case, in the realm of twentieth-century despots, Benito Mussolini was a pioneer. From

was still to be justified. In October 1935, Italy finally attacked Ethiopia - Adva was one of the

main victories - and by May 1936 defeated the nation and declared the Italian ruler Victor

Emanuel III the head of Ethiopia. Ethiopia was the main prominent country in Africa that
