Zoomer Historian

Benito Mussolini has gone down in history as a clown, nothing more than Hitler's sidekick. If that were the case why would the Italian people have been so wholeheartedly behind him? How did he sweep to power so easily and remain there unopposed until deep into the Second World War? Let's get to the truth of the matter. This is the ultimate and complete history of Benito Mussolini from the day he was born until that fateful day in Como in 1945. Thank you to Antelope Hill for sponsoring this video!
