▁in ▁the ▁population ▁in ▁general ▁was ▁also ▁bl amed ▁for ▁Rome ' s ▁down fall , ▁claim ing ▁that ▁It ali ans ▁as ▁a ▁whole ▁were ▁a ▁hy brid ▁of ▁races , ▁including ▁black ▁African ▁races . ▁Due ▁to ▁the ▁dark er ▁complex ion ▁of ▁Mediter rane an ▁pe op les , ▁Hitler ▁regarded ▁them ▁as ▁having ▁traces ▁of ▁Neg roid ▁blood ▁and ▁therefore ▁were ▁not ▁pure ▁A ry ans ▁and ▁inferior ▁to ▁those ▁without ▁such ▁her itage . ▁Hitler ▁pra ised ▁post - R oman ▁era ▁achiev ements ▁of ▁northern ▁It ali ans ▁such ▁as ▁Sand ro ▁B ott ic elli , ▁Michel ang elo , ▁D ante ▁Al igh ieri ▁and ▁Ben ito ▁M uss ol ini . ▁The ▁Naz is ▁as cribed ▁the ▁great ▁achiev ements ▁of ▁post - R oman ▁era ▁northern ▁It ali ans ▁to ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁Nord ic ▁ra cial ▁her itage ▁in ▁such ▁people ▁who ▁via ▁their ▁Nord ic ▁her itage ▁had ▁German ic ▁ancest ors , ▁such ▁as ▁Naz i ▁ide ologist ▁Alfred ▁Ros enberg ▁recogn izing ▁Michel ang elo ▁and ▁Leon ardo ▁da ▁V inci ▁as ▁exempl ary ▁Nord ic ▁men ▁of ▁history . ▁However , ▁the ▁Naz is ▁did ▁claim ▁that ▁aside ▁from ▁bi olog ically ▁Nord ic ▁people ▁that ▁a ▁Nord ic ▁soul ▁could ▁inhab it ▁a ▁non - N ord ic ▁body . ▁Hitler ▁emphas ized ▁the ▁role ▁of ▁German ic ▁influence ▁in ▁Northern ▁Italy , ▁such ▁as ▁stating ▁that ▁the ▁art ▁of ▁Northern ▁Italy ▁was ▁" nothing ▁but ▁pure
▁German ". ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁after math ▁of ▁Aust rian ▁Naz is ▁killing ▁Aust rian ▁Chan cell or ▁Engel bert ▁D oll f uss ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 4 , ▁an ▁al ly ▁of ▁Italy , ▁M uss ol ini ▁became ▁en rag ed ▁and ▁respond ed ▁by ▁an gr ily ▁den oun cing ▁Naz ism . ▁M uss ol ini ▁re bu ked ▁Naz ism ' s ▁Nord ic ism , ▁claim ing ▁that ▁the ▁Naz is ' ▁emphas izing ▁of ▁a ▁common ▁Nord ic ▁" G erman ic ▁race " ▁was ▁abs urd ▁by ▁saying ▁that ▁" a ▁German ic ▁race ▁does ▁not ▁exist . ▁[...] ▁We ▁repeat . ▁Does ▁not ▁exist . ▁Scient ists ▁say ▁so . ▁Hitler ▁says ▁so ". ▁The ▁fact ▁that ▁Germ ans ▁were ▁not ▁purely ▁Nord ic ▁was ▁indeed ▁acknowled ged ▁by ▁prominent ▁Naz i ▁ra cial ▁the or ist ▁Hans ▁F . ▁K . ▁Gün ther ▁in ▁his ▁ 1 9 2 2 ▁book ▁R ass enk unde ▁des ▁deutschen ▁Vol kes ▁( R a cial ▁Science ▁of ▁the ▁German ▁People ), ▁where ▁Gün ther ▁recognized ▁Germ ans ▁as ▁being ▁composed ▁of ▁five ▁ra cial ▁types , ▁namely ▁Nord ic , ▁Mediter rane an , ▁Din ar ic , ▁Al pine ▁and ▁East ▁Balt ic ▁while ▁as ser ting ▁that ▁the ▁Nord ics ▁were ▁the ▁highest ▁in ▁a ▁ra cial ▁hierarchy ▁of ▁the ▁five ▁types . ▁ ▁By ▁ 1 9 3 6 , ▁the ▁t ensions ▁between ▁F asc ist ▁Italy ▁and ▁Naz
i ▁Germany ▁reduced ▁and ▁relations ▁became ▁more ▁am ic able . ▁In ▁ 1 9 3 6 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁decided ▁to ▁launch ▁a ▁ra cial ▁programme ▁in ▁Italy ▁and ▁was ▁interested ▁in ▁the ▁ra cial ▁studies ▁being ▁conducted ▁by ▁Giul io ▁C og ni . ▁C og ni ▁was ▁a ▁Nord ic ist , ▁but ▁did ▁not ▁equ ate ▁Nord ic ▁identity ▁with ▁German ic ▁identity ▁as ▁was ▁commonly ▁done ▁by ▁German ▁Nord ic ists . ▁C og ni ▁had ▁travel led ▁to ▁Germany ▁where ▁he ▁had ▁become ▁im pressed ▁by ▁Naz i ▁ra cial ▁theory ▁and ▁sought ▁to ▁create ▁his ▁own ▁version ▁of ▁ra cial ▁theory . ▁On ▁ 1 1 ▁September ▁ 1 9 3 6 , ▁C og ni ▁sent ▁M uss ol ini ▁a ▁copy ▁of ▁his ▁newly ▁published ▁book ▁Il ▁R azz ismo ▁( 1 9 3 6 ). ▁C og ni ▁declared ▁the ▁ra cial ▁aff inity ▁of ▁the ▁Mediter rane an ▁and ▁Nord ic ▁ra cial ▁sub types ▁of ▁the ▁A ry an ▁race ▁and ▁claimed ▁that ▁the ▁inter mix ing ▁of ▁Nord ic ▁A ry ans ▁and ▁Mediter rane an ▁A ry ans ▁in ▁Italy ▁produced ▁a ▁superior ▁synth esis ▁of ▁A ry an ▁It ali ans . ▁C og ni ▁addressed ▁the ▁issue ▁of ▁ra cial ▁differences ▁between ▁northern ▁and ▁southern ▁It ali ans , ▁declaring ▁Southern ▁It ali ans ▁were ▁mixed ▁between ▁A ry an ▁and ▁non - A ry an ▁races , ▁which ▁he ▁claimed ▁was ▁most ▁likely ▁due
▁to ▁in fil tr ation ▁by ▁A si atic ▁pe op les ▁in ▁Roman ▁times ▁and ▁later ▁Arab ▁invas ions . ▁As ▁such , ▁C og ni ▁viewed ▁Southern ▁Italian ▁Mediter rane ans ▁as ▁being ▁poll uted ▁with ▁orient al izing ▁t endencies . ▁He ▁would ▁later ▁change ▁his ▁idea ▁and ▁claim ▁that ▁Nord ics ▁and ▁Southern ▁It ali ans ▁were ▁closely ▁related ▁groups ▁both ▁ra cially ▁and ▁spirit ually , ▁as ▁they ▁were ▁generally ▁responsible ▁for ▁what ▁is ▁the ▁best ▁in ▁European ▁civil ization . ▁Initial ly , ▁M uss ol ini ▁was ▁not ▁im pressed ▁with ▁C og ni ' s ▁work , ▁but ▁C og ni ' s ▁ideas ▁entered ▁into ▁the ▁official ▁F asc ist ▁ra cial ▁policy ▁several ▁years ▁later . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 3 8 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁was ▁concerned ▁that ▁if ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁did ▁not ▁recognize ▁Nord ic ▁her itage ▁within ▁It ali ans , ▁then ▁the ▁Mediter rane an ▁inferior ity ▁complex ▁would ▁return ▁to ▁Italian ▁society . ▁Therefore , ▁in ▁summer ▁ 1 9 3 8 ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁government ▁officially ▁recognized ▁It ali ans ▁as ▁having ▁Nord ic ▁her itage ▁and ▁being ▁of ▁Nord ic - Med iter rane an ▁descent ▁and ▁in ▁a ▁meeting ▁with ▁P NF ▁members . ▁In ▁June ▁ 1 9 3 8 ▁in ▁a ▁meeting ▁with ▁P NF ▁members , ▁M uss ol ini ▁identified ▁himself ▁as ▁Nord ic ▁and ▁declared ▁that ▁previous ▁policy ▁of ▁focus ▁on ▁Mediter rane an ism
▁was ▁to ▁be ▁replaced ▁by ▁a ▁focus ▁on ▁A ry an ism . ▁ ▁The ▁F asc ist ▁regime ▁began ▁publication ▁of ▁the ▁ra cial ist ▁magazine ▁La ▁D if esa ▁della ▁Raz za ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 8 . ▁The ▁Nord ic ist ▁ra cial ▁the or ist ▁Gu ido ▁Land ra ▁took ▁a ▁major ▁role ▁in ▁the ▁early ▁work ▁of ▁La ▁D if esa ▁and ▁published ▁the ▁Man if esto ▁of ▁Ra cial ▁Scient ists ▁in ▁the ▁magazine ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 8 . ▁ ▁The ▁Man if esto ▁directly ▁addressed ▁its ▁conception ▁of ▁rac ism ▁and ▁emphas ized ▁its ▁aut onomy ▁from ▁German ▁ra cial ▁theories ▁by ▁stating : ▁▁ ▁The ▁emphas is ▁in ▁the ▁Man if esto ▁on ▁a ▁psych ological ▁model ▁of ▁a ▁superior ▁human ▁being ▁was ▁in ▁reference ▁to ▁the ▁Italian ▁ant is emit ic ▁ra cial ▁the or ists ▁Giovanni ▁Pap ini ▁and ▁Paolo ▁O rano ▁that ▁stated ▁that ▁those ▁Jews ▁who ▁had ▁associated ▁themselves ▁as ▁being ▁Italian ▁were ▁examples ▁of ▁inferior ▁psych ological ▁types ▁that ▁were ▁character ized ▁by ▁moral ▁ab jection , ▁f als eness ▁and ▁cow ard ice ▁that ▁could ▁not ▁be ▁associated ▁with ▁the ▁Italian ▁community . ▁After ▁Article ▁ 7 ▁of ▁the ▁Man if esto , ▁the ▁remainder ▁claimed ▁that ▁pe op les ▁of ▁the ▁Oriental ▁race , ▁African ▁races ▁and ▁Jews , ▁as ▁not ▁belonging ▁to ▁the ▁Italian ▁race ; ▁and ▁in ▁Article ▁ 1 0 ▁declared ▁that ▁the ▁physical ▁and ▁psych ological ▁characteristics ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁people
▁must ▁not ▁be ▁alter ed ▁by ▁cross bre eding ▁with ▁non - Europe an ▁races . ▁ ▁The ▁Man if esto ▁received ▁substantial ▁criticism , ▁including ▁its ▁assertion ▁of ▁It ali ans ▁being ▁a ▁" p ure ▁race ", ▁as ▁critics ▁viewed ▁the ▁notion ▁as ▁abs urd . ▁La ▁D if esa ▁published ▁other ▁theories ▁that ▁described ▁long - term ▁Nord ic ▁A ry an ▁amongst ▁It ali ans , ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁theory ▁that ▁in ▁the ▁E ne ol ith ic ▁age ▁Nord ic ▁A ry ans ▁arrived ▁in ▁Italy . ▁Many ▁of ▁the ▁writers ▁of ▁La ▁D if esa ▁della ▁Raz za ▁took ▁up ▁the ▁traditional ▁Nord ic ist ▁claim ▁that ▁the ▁decl ine ▁and ▁fall ▁of ▁the ▁Roman ▁Empire ▁was ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁arrival ▁of ▁Sem it ic ▁imm igr ants . ▁La ▁D if esa ' s ▁writers ▁were ▁divided ▁on ▁their ▁claims ▁that ▁described ▁how ▁It ali ans ▁extr ic ated ▁themselves ▁from ▁Sem it ic ▁influence . ▁ ▁The ▁Nord ic ist ▁direction ▁of ▁F asc ist ▁ra cial ▁policy ▁was ▁challeng ed ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 8 ▁by ▁a ▁res urg ence ▁of ▁the ▁Mediter rane an ▁fa ction ▁in ▁the ▁P NF . ▁By ▁ 1 9 3 9 , ▁the ▁Mediter rane an ists ▁advoc ated ▁a ▁n ativ ist ▁ra cial ▁theory ▁which ▁rejected ▁as cri bing ▁the ▁achiev ements ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁people ▁to ▁Nord ic ▁pe op les . ▁This ▁n ativ ist ▁ra cial ▁policy ▁was ▁prom in ently
▁promoted ▁by ▁U go ▁R ell ini . ▁R ell ini ▁rejected ▁the ▁notion ▁of ▁large ▁scale ▁invas ions ▁of ▁Italy ▁by ▁Nord ic ▁A ry ans ▁in ▁the ▁E ne ol ith ic ▁age ▁and ▁claimed ▁that ▁It ali ans ▁were ▁an ▁ind igen ous ▁people ▁desc ended ▁from ▁the ▁Cro - M agn ons . ▁R ell ini ▁claimed ▁that ▁Mediter rane an ▁and ▁later ▁Nord ic ▁pe op les ▁arrived ▁and ▁peace fully ▁inter m ixed ▁in ▁small ▁numbers ▁with ▁the ▁ind igen ous ▁Italian ▁population . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 4 1 , ▁the ▁P NF ' s ▁Mediter rane an ists ▁through ▁the ▁influence ▁of ▁Gia como ▁A cer bo ▁put ▁forward ▁a ▁compreh ensive ▁definition ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁race . ▁However , ▁these ▁efforts ▁were ▁challeng ed ▁by ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁end ors ement ▁of ▁Nord ic ist ▁figures ▁with ▁the ▁appointment ▁of ▁sta unch ▁spiritual ▁Nord ic ist ▁Alberto ▁L uch ini ▁as ▁head ▁of ▁Italy ' s ▁Ra cial ▁Office ▁in ▁May ▁ 1 9 4 1 , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁with ▁M uss ol ini ▁becoming ▁interested ▁with ▁Julius ▁E vol a ' s ▁spiritual ▁Nord ic ism ▁in ▁late ▁ 1 9 4 1 . ▁A cer bo ▁and ▁the ▁Mediter rane an ists ▁in ▁his ▁High ▁Council ▁on ▁Dem ography ▁and ▁Race ▁sought ▁to ▁bring ▁the ▁regime ▁back ▁to ▁supporting ▁Mediter rane an ism ▁by ▁thoroughly ▁den oun cing ▁the ▁pro - N ord ic ist ▁Man if
esto ▁of ▁the ▁Ra cial ▁Scient ists . ▁The ▁Council ▁recognized ▁A ry ans ▁as ▁being ▁a ▁lingu istic - based ▁group ▁and ▁condem ned ▁the ▁Man if esto ▁for ▁den ying ▁the ▁influence ▁of ▁pre - A ry an ▁civil ization ▁on ▁modern ▁Italy , ▁saying ▁that ▁the ▁Man if esto ▁" const it utes ▁an ▁un just ifiable ▁and ▁und emon stra ble ▁neg ation ▁of ▁the ▁anth rop ological , ▁eth n ological , ▁and ▁arch ae ological ▁discover ies ▁that ▁have ▁occurred ▁and ▁are ▁occurr ing ▁in ▁our ▁country ". ▁Furthermore , ▁the ▁Council ▁den ounced ▁the ▁Man if esto ▁for ▁" imp licit ly " ▁cred iting ▁German ic ▁inv aders ▁of ▁Italy ▁in ▁the ▁gu ise ▁of ▁the ▁Lomb ards ▁for ▁having ▁" a ▁form ative ▁influence ▁on ▁the ▁Italian ▁race ▁in ▁a ▁dis pro port ional ▁degree ▁to ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁inv aders ▁and ▁to ▁their ▁bi ological ▁pre domin ance ". ▁The ▁Council ▁claimed ▁that ▁the ▁obvious ▁superior ity ▁of ▁the ▁ancient ▁Gree ks ▁and ▁Rom ans ▁in ▁comparison ▁with ▁the ▁ancient ▁German ic ▁tribes ▁made ▁it ▁incon ce iv able ▁that ▁Italian ▁culture ▁ow ed ▁a ▁deb t ▁to ▁ancient ▁A ry an ▁Germ ans . ▁The ▁Council ▁den ounced ▁the ▁Man if esto ' s ▁Nord ic ist ▁supre mac ist ▁attitude ▁towards ▁Mediter rane ans ▁that ▁it ▁claimed ▁was ▁" cons ider ing ▁them ▁as ▁slaves " ▁and ▁was ▁" a ▁rep udi ation ▁of ▁the ▁entire ▁Italian ▁civil ization ". ▁▁
▁Att itude ▁and ▁policies ▁regarding ▁Jews ▁▁ ▁In ▁his ▁early ▁years ▁as ▁F asc ist ▁leader , ▁while ▁M uss ol ini ▁har b oured ▁negative ▁s tere ot ypes ▁of ▁Jews ▁he ▁did ▁not ▁hold ▁a ▁firm ▁st ance ▁on ▁Jews ▁and ▁his ▁official ▁st ances ▁oscill ated ▁and ▁shift ed ▁to ▁meet ▁the ▁political ▁dem ands ▁of ▁the ▁various ▁fa ctions ▁of ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁movement , ▁rather ▁than ▁having ▁anything ▁concrete . ▁M uss ol ini ▁had ▁held ▁ant is emit ic ▁belief s ▁prior ▁to ▁becoming ▁a ▁F asc ist , ▁such ▁as ▁in ▁a ▁ 1 9 0 8 ▁ess ay ▁on ▁the ▁topic ▁of ▁N iet z sche ' s ▁Über m ensch , ▁in ▁which ▁M uss ol ini ▁condem ned ▁" p all id ▁J ude ans " ▁for ▁" w reck ing " ▁the ▁Roman ▁Empire ; ▁and ▁in ▁ 1 9 1 3 ▁as ▁editor ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁Social ist ▁Party ' s ▁( P SI ) ▁Av anti ! ▁newspaper ▁again ▁wrote ▁about ▁the ▁Jews ▁having ▁caused ▁hav oc ▁in ▁ancient ▁Rome . ▁Although ▁M uss ol ini ▁held ▁these ▁negative ▁att itudes , ▁he ▁was ▁aware ▁that ▁Italian ▁Jews ▁were ▁a ▁deeply ▁integrated ▁and ▁small ▁community ▁in ▁Italy ▁who ▁were ▁by ▁and ▁large ▁perce ived ▁fav ou rab ly ▁in ▁Italy ▁for ▁fighting ▁val i antly ▁for ▁Italy ▁in ▁World ▁War ▁I . ▁Of ▁the ▁ 1 1 7 ▁original ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁F as ci ▁Italian i ▁di ▁Com
b att imento ▁founded ▁on ▁ 2 3 ▁March ▁ 1 9 1 9 , ▁five ▁were ▁Jewish . ▁Since ▁the ▁movement ' s ▁early ▁years , ▁there ▁were ▁a ▁small ▁number ▁of ▁prominent ▁open ly ▁ant is emit ic ▁F asc ists ▁such ▁as ▁Roberto ▁Far in acci . ▁There ▁were ▁also ▁prominent ▁F asc ists ▁who ▁completely ▁rejected ▁ant is emit ism , ▁such ▁as ▁Ital o ▁Bal bo ▁who ▁lived ▁in ▁Ferr ara ▁that ▁had ▁a ▁substantial ▁Jewish ▁community ▁that ▁was ▁accepted ▁and ▁ant is emit ic ▁inc idents ▁were ▁rare ▁in ▁the ▁city . ▁ ▁In ▁response ▁to ▁his ▁observation ▁of ▁large ▁numbers ▁of ▁Jews ▁amongst ▁the ▁B ols he vik s ▁and ▁claims ▁( that ▁were ▁later ▁confirmed ▁to ▁be ▁true ) ▁that ▁the ▁B ols he vik s ▁and ▁Germany ▁( that ▁Italy ▁was ▁fighting ▁in ▁World ▁War ▁I ) ▁were ▁polit ically ▁connected , ▁M uss ol ini ▁said ▁ant is emit ic ▁statements ▁involving ▁the ▁B ols he vik - G erman ▁connection ▁as ▁being ▁an ▁" un hol y ▁al liance ▁between ▁H inden burg ▁and ▁the ▁syn agog ue ". ▁M uss ol ini ▁came ▁to ▁believe ▁rum ours ▁that ▁B ols he vik ▁leader ▁Vladimir ▁Len in ▁was ▁of ▁Jewish ▁descent . ▁In ▁an ▁article ▁in ▁Il ▁Pop olo ▁d ' Italia ▁in ▁June ▁ 1 9 1 9 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁wrote ▁a ▁highly ▁ant is emit ic ▁analysis ▁on ▁the ▁situation ▁in ▁Europe ▁involving ▁B ols he v
ism ▁following ▁the ▁October ▁Revolution , ▁the ▁Russian ▁Civil ▁War ▁and ▁war ▁in ▁Hung ary ▁involving ▁the ▁Hung arian ▁Soviet ▁Republic : ▁▁ ▁This ▁statement ▁by ▁M uss ol ini ▁on ▁a ▁Jewish - B ols he vik - pl ut ocr atic ▁connection ▁and ▁consp i racy ▁was ▁met ▁with ▁opposition ▁in ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁movement , ▁resulting ▁in ▁M uss ol ini ▁respond ing ▁to ▁this ▁opposition ▁amongst ▁his ▁supp or ters ▁by ▁abandon ing ▁this ▁st ance ▁shortly ▁afterwards ▁in ▁ 1 9 1 9 . ▁Upon ▁abandon ing ▁this ▁st ance ▁due ▁to ▁opposition ▁to ▁it , ▁M uss ol ini ▁no ▁longer ▁said ▁his ▁previous ▁assertion ▁that ▁B ols he v ism ▁was ▁Jewish , ▁but ▁war ned ▁that ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁large ▁numbers ▁of ▁Jews ▁in ▁the ▁B ols he vik ▁movement ▁the ▁rise ▁of ▁B ols he v ism ▁in ▁Russia ▁would ▁result ▁in ▁a ▁f ero cious ▁wave ▁of ▁ant is emit ism ▁in ▁Russia . ▁He ▁then ▁claimed ▁that ▁" ant is emit ism ▁is ▁foreign ▁to ▁the ▁Italian ▁people ", ▁but ▁war ned ▁Z ion ists ▁that ▁they ▁should ▁be ▁careful ▁not ▁to ▁stir ▁up ▁ant is emit ism ▁in ▁" the ▁only ▁country ▁where ▁it ▁has ▁not ▁existed ". ▁ ▁Marg her ita ▁Sar f atti ▁was ▁an ▁influ ential ▁Jewish ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁P NF ▁whom ▁M uss ol ini ▁had ▁known ▁since ▁he ▁and ▁her ▁had ▁been ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁P SI ▁and ▁she ▁had ▁been ▁his ▁mist ress
▁and ▁helped ▁write ▁D ux ▁( 1 9 2 6 ), ▁a ▁bi ography ▁of ▁M uss ol ini . ▁One ▁of ▁the ▁Jewish ▁financial ▁supp or ters ▁of ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁movement ▁was ▁To e pl itz , ▁whom ▁M uss ol ini ▁had ▁earlier ▁accused ▁of ▁being ▁a ▁tra itor ▁during ▁World ▁War ▁I . ▁Another ▁prominent ▁Jewish ▁Italian ▁F asc ist ▁was ▁E tt ore ▁O v az za , ▁who ▁was ▁a ▁sta unch ▁Italian ▁national ist ▁and ▁an ▁oppon ent ▁of ▁Z ion ism ▁in ▁Italy . ▁ 2 3 0 ▁Italian ▁Jews ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁F asc ists ' ▁March ▁on ▁Rome ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 2 . ▁In ▁the ▁early ▁ 1 9 2 0 s , ▁M uss ol ini ▁was ▁c aut ious ▁on ▁topics ▁of ▁Italian ▁Jewish ▁financi ers ▁that ▁arose ▁from ▁time ▁to ▁time ▁from ▁ant is emit ic ▁elements ▁in ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁movement , ▁while ▁he ▁regarded ▁them ▁as ▁un tr ust worth y ▁he ▁believed ▁that ▁he ▁could ▁draw ▁them ▁to ▁his ▁side . ▁In ▁ 1 9 3 2 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁made ▁his ▁private ▁attitude ▁about ▁Jews ▁known ▁to ▁the ▁Aust rian ▁amb assador ▁when ▁discuss ing ▁the ▁issue ▁by ▁saying : ▁" I ▁have ▁no ▁love ▁for ▁the ▁Jews , ▁but ▁they ▁have ▁great ▁influence ▁everywhere . ▁It ▁is ▁better ▁to ▁leave ▁them ▁alone . ▁Hitler ' s ▁ant is emit ism ▁has ▁already ▁brought ▁him ▁more ▁enemies ▁than ▁is
▁necessary ". ▁ ▁On ▁the ▁e ve ▁of ▁the ▁March ▁on ▁Rome , ▁the ▁leadership ▁of ▁the ▁P NF ▁declared ▁that ▁ ▁" a ▁Jewish ▁question ▁does ▁not ▁exist ▁in ▁our ▁country ▁and ▁let ▁us ▁hope ▁that ▁there ▁never ▁shall ▁be ▁one , ▁at ▁least ▁not ▁until ▁Z ion ism ▁pos es ▁Italian ▁Jews ▁with ▁the ▁d ile m ma ▁of ▁choosing ▁between ▁their ▁Italian ▁hom eland ▁and ▁another ▁hom eland ". ▁The ▁relations ▁between ▁the ▁regime ▁and ▁Jews ▁as ▁in ▁those ▁pract icing ▁the ▁religion ▁of ▁J uda ism ▁was ▁affected ▁by ▁the ▁F asc ists ' ▁accommod ation ▁of ▁the ▁Catholic ▁Church ▁beginning ▁in ▁the ▁early ▁ 1 9 2 0 s ▁in ▁which ▁it ▁sought ▁to ▁remove ▁previous ▁prov isions ▁of ▁equality ▁of ▁faith s ▁and ▁imp ose ▁state ▁support ▁of ▁the ▁supre m acy ▁of ▁Catholic ism . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 8 , ▁fr ustration ▁arose ▁in ▁the ▁regime ▁over ▁Z ion ism ▁in ▁which ▁M uss ol ini ▁respond ed ▁to ▁the ▁Italian ▁Z ion ist ▁Congress ▁by ▁public ly ▁declaring ▁a ▁question ▁to ▁Italy ' s ▁Jews ▁on ▁their ▁self - identity : ▁" Are ▁you ▁a ▁religion ▁or ▁are ▁you ▁a ▁nation ? ". ▁Z ion ist ▁and ▁anti - Z ion ist ▁Jews ▁respond ed , ▁the ▁anti - Z ion ist ▁Jews ▁prof essed ▁they ▁were ▁religious ▁Jews ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁nation , ▁while ▁Z ion ist ▁Jews ▁declared ▁that ▁there ▁was ▁no ▁dispute ▁between ▁Z ion ism ▁and
▁said ▁that ▁all ▁Italian ▁Jews ▁held ▁patri otic ▁respect ▁for ▁Italy . ▁Upon ▁these ▁responses ▁arriv ing , ▁M uss ol ini ▁declared ▁that ▁these ▁revealed ▁that ▁a ▁Jewish ▁problem ▁existed ▁in ▁terms ▁of ▁Jewish ▁identity ▁in ▁Italy ▁as ▁a ▁result ▁of ▁conflic ting ▁national ▁lo y alt ies ▁amongst ▁Z ion ist ▁Jews ▁by ▁saying : ▁▁ ▁The ▁F asc ists ▁at ▁this ▁time ▁were ▁not ▁wh olly ▁opposed ▁to ▁Z ion ism , ▁but ▁took ▁an ▁instrument al ▁approach ▁to ▁it ▁as ▁they ▁were ▁host ile ▁to ▁it ▁when ▁it ▁caused ▁conflict ▁in ▁Italy ▁with ▁the ▁country ' s ▁Catholic ▁community ▁and ▁when ▁such ▁Z ion ists ▁were ▁seen ▁as ▁associated ▁with ▁British ▁interests , ▁though ▁they ▁were ▁fav ou rable ▁to ▁Z ion ists ▁who ▁opposed ▁the ▁British ▁and ▁sought ▁Italy ' s ▁support ▁as ▁their ▁prote ctor . ▁In ▁the ▁early ▁ 1 9 3 0 s , ▁M uss ol ini ▁held ▁discuss ions ▁with ▁Z ion ist ▁leadership ▁figures ▁over ▁propos als ▁to ▁encou rage ▁the ▁em igration ▁of ▁Italian ▁Jews ▁to ▁the ▁mand ate ▁of ▁Palest ine , ▁as ▁M uss ol ini ▁hoped ▁that ▁the ▁presence ▁of ▁pro - Ital ian ▁Jews ▁in ▁the ▁region ▁would ▁weak en ▁pro - B rit ish ▁sentiment ▁and ▁potentially ▁over turn ▁the ▁British ▁mand ate . ▁ ▁At ▁the ▁ 1 9 3 4 ▁Mont re ux ▁F asc ist ▁conference ▁cha ired ▁by ▁the ▁Italian - led ▁Com it ati ▁d ' A zione ▁per ▁l '
Univers al ita ▁di ▁Roma ▁( CA UR ) ▁that ▁sought ▁to ▁found ▁a ▁F asc ist ▁International , ▁the ▁issue ▁of ▁ant is emit ism ▁was ▁deb ated ▁amongst ▁various ▁fasc ist ▁parties , ▁with ▁some ▁more ▁fav ou rable ▁to ▁it ▁and ▁others ▁less ▁fav ou rable . ▁Two ▁final ▁comprom ises ▁were ▁adopted , ▁creating ▁the ▁official ▁st ance ▁of ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁International : ▁▁ ▁In ▁a ▁discussion ▁with ▁President ▁of ▁the ▁World ▁Z ion ist ▁Organ ization ▁Cha im ▁We iz mann ▁over ▁requests ▁for ▁Italy ▁to ▁provide ▁refuge ▁for ▁Jews ▁fle eing ▁Naz i ▁Germany , ▁M uss ol ini ▁agreed ▁that ▁he ▁would ▁accept ▁Jewish ▁refuge es , ▁but ▁war ned ▁We iz mann ▁about ▁consequences ▁if ▁such ▁Jews ▁har med ▁Italy ▁by ▁saying : ▁▁ ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ' s ▁att itudes ▁towards ▁Z ion ism ▁and ▁Jews ▁in ▁general ▁under w ent ▁a ▁shift ▁in ▁response ▁to ▁the ▁Second ▁Ital o - E th iop ian ▁War . ▁At ▁the ▁out set ▁of ▁the ▁war , ▁M uss ol ini ▁sought ▁to ▁gain ▁fav ou rable ▁support ▁for ▁Italy ' s ▁inter vention ▁in ▁Eth iop ia ▁and ▁appe aled ▁to ▁Z ion ists ▁by ▁offering ▁them ▁a ▁solution ▁to ▁the ▁Jewish ▁question , ▁in ▁which ▁Italy ▁would ▁set ▁aside ▁a ▁certain ▁amount ▁of ▁territory ▁from ▁conquer ed ▁Eth iop ia ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁hom eland ▁for ▁Jews . ▁M uss ol ini ▁claimed ▁that ▁territory ▁from ▁conquer ed ▁Eth iop ia
▁would ▁make ▁an ▁ideal ▁hom eland ▁for ▁the ▁Jews , ▁not ing ▁that ▁there ▁were ▁large ▁numbers ▁of ▁Fal asha ▁already ▁living ▁there ▁who ▁identified ▁as ▁Jews . ▁However , ▁Z ion ist ▁leaders ▁rejected ▁this ▁proposal ▁by ▁saying ▁that ▁they ▁would ▁only ▁live ▁in ▁the ▁Holy ▁Land ▁in ▁the ▁Lev ant . ▁M uss ol ini ▁viewed ▁this ▁as ▁an ▁off ensive ▁sn ub ▁and ▁respond ed ▁in ▁fr ustration ▁saying : ▁" If ▁Eth iop ia ▁is ▁good ▁enough ▁for ▁my ▁It ali ans ▁why ▁isn ' t ▁it ▁good ▁enough ▁for ▁you ▁Jews ? ". ▁After wards , ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁relations ▁with ▁the ▁Z ion ist ▁movement ▁co o led ▁and ▁became ▁ag gra v ated ▁with ▁his ▁observation ▁that ▁many ▁Jews ▁opposed ▁the ▁Ital o - E th iop ian ▁War , ▁to ▁which ▁he ▁respond ed : ▁▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 3 6 , ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁regime ▁began ▁to ▁promote ▁ra cial ▁ant is emit ism ▁and ▁M uss ol ini ▁claimed ▁that ▁international ▁Jew ry ▁had ▁s ided ▁with ▁Britain ▁against ▁Italy ▁during ▁Italy ' s ▁war ▁with ▁Eth iop ia . ▁Histor ian ▁Ren zo ▁De ▁Fel ice ▁believed ▁that ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁regime ' s ▁purs uit ▁of ▁al liance ▁with ▁Naz i ▁Germany ▁that ▁began ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 6 ▁explains ▁the ▁ad option ▁of ▁ant is emit ism ▁as ▁a ▁p rag m atic ▁component ▁of ▁purs uit ▁of ▁that ▁al liance . ▁De
▁Fel ice ' s ▁interpretation ▁has ▁been ▁challeng ed ▁by ▁H . ▁Stuart ▁Hugh es , ▁who ▁has ▁claimed ▁that ▁direct ▁Naz i ▁pressure ▁to ▁adopt ▁ant is emit ic ▁policy ▁had ▁little ▁or ▁no ▁impact ▁on ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁decision . ▁Hugh es ▁notes ▁that ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁version ▁of ▁ant is emit ism ▁was ▁based ▁on ▁spiritual ist ▁consider ations ▁while ▁es ch ew ing ▁anth rop ological ▁or ▁bi ological ▁arguments , ▁unlike ▁the ▁Naz i ▁version ▁of ▁ant is emit ism . ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁adopted ▁ant is emit ism ▁in ▁the ▁late ▁ 1 9 3 0 s ▁and ▁M uss ol ini ▁personally ▁returned ▁to ▁invoke ▁ant is emit ic ▁statements ▁as ▁he ▁had ▁done ▁earlier . ▁The ▁F asc ist ▁regime ▁used ▁ant is emit ic ▁propag anda ▁for ▁the ▁Spanish ▁Civil ▁War ▁from ▁ 1 9 3 7 ▁to ▁ 1 9 3 8 ▁that ▁emphas ized ▁that ▁Italy ▁was ▁supporting ▁Spain ' s ▁National ist ▁forces ▁against ▁a ▁" J ew ish ▁International ". ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 3 8 , ▁F asc ist ▁Italy ▁passed ▁the ▁Italian ▁Ra cial ▁La ws ▁which ▁forb id ▁Jews ▁from ▁their ▁citizens hip ▁and ▁forb id ▁sexual ▁relations ▁and ▁mar ri ages ▁between ▁It ali ans ▁and ▁Jews . ▁The ▁ad option ▁of ▁such ▁ra cial ▁laws ▁was ▁met ▁with ▁opposition ▁from ▁F asc ist ▁members ▁including ▁Bal bo , ▁who ▁regarded ▁ant is emit ism ▁as ▁having ▁nothing ▁to ▁do
▁with ▁F asc ism ▁and ▁sta unch ly ▁opposed ▁the ▁ant is emit ic ▁laws . ▁▁ ▁Total itar ian ism ▁▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 5 , ▁the ▁P NF ▁declared ▁that ▁Italy ' s ▁F asc ist ▁state ▁was ▁to ▁be ▁total itar ian . ▁The ▁term ▁" total itar ian " ▁had ▁initially ▁been ▁used ▁as ▁a ▁pe jor ative ▁accus ation ▁by ▁Italy ' s ▁liberal ▁opposition ▁that ▁den ounced ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁movement ▁for ▁seeking ▁to ▁create ▁a ▁total ▁dict ator ship . ▁However , ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁respond ed ▁by ▁accepting ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁total itar ian , ▁but ▁presented ▁total itar ian ism ▁from ▁a ▁positive ▁view point . ▁M uss ol ini ▁described ▁total itar ian ism ▁as ▁seeking ▁to ▁for ge ▁an ▁author itar ian ▁national ▁state ▁that ▁would ▁be ▁capable ▁of ▁comple ting ▁Ris org imento ▁of ▁the ▁Italia ▁Ir red enta , ▁for ge ▁a ▁powerful ▁modern ▁Italy ▁and ▁create ▁a ▁new ▁kind ▁of ▁citiz en ▁– ▁polit ically ▁active ▁F asc ist ▁It ali ans . ▁ ▁The ▁Do ctrine ▁of ▁F asc ism ▁( 1 9 3 2 ) ▁described ▁the ▁nature ▁of ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ' s ▁total itar ian ism , ▁stating ▁the ▁following : ▁▁ ▁American ▁journalist ▁H . ▁R . ▁Kn icker bo cker ▁wrote ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 1 : ▁" M uss ol ini ' s ▁F asc ist ▁state ▁is ▁the ▁least ▁terror istic ▁of ▁the ▁three ▁total
itar ian ▁states . ▁The ▁terror ▁is ▁so ▁m ild ▁in ▁comparison ▁with ▁the ▁Soviet ▁or ▁Naz i ▁vari eties , ▁that ▁it ▁almost ▁fails ▁to ▁qual ify ▁as ▁terror istic ▁at ▁all ." ▁As ▁example ▁he ▁described ▁an ▁Italian ▁journalist ▁friend ▁who ▁refused ▁to ▁become ▁a ▁F asc ist . ▁He ▁was ▁fired ▁from ▁his ▁newspaper ▁and ▁put ▁under ▁ 2 4 - hour ▁surve ill ance , ▁but ▁otherwise ▁not ▁har ass ed ; ▁his ▁employ ment ▁contract ▁was ▁settled ▁for ▁a ▁l ump ▁sum ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁allowed ▁to ▁work ▁for ▁the ▁foreign ▁press . ▁Kn icker bo cker ▁contrast ed ▁his ▁treatment ▁with ▁the ▁in ev itable ▁tort ure ▁and ▁execution ▁under ▁St alin ▁or ▁Hitler , ▁and ▁stated ▁" you ▁have ▁a ▁fair ▁idea ▁of ▁the ▁compar ative ▁m ild ness ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁kind ▁of ▁total itar ian ism ". ▁ ▁However , ▁since ▁World ▁War ▁II ▁histor ians ▁have ▁noted ▁that ▁in ▁Italy ' s ▁colon ies ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁displayed ▁extreme ▁levels ▁of ▁violence . ▁The ▁death s ▁of ▁one - t enth ▁of ▁the ▁population ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁col ony ▁of ▁Lib ya ▁occurred ▁during ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁era , ▁including ▁from ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁g ass ings , ▁concentration ▁cam ps , ▁star v ation ▁and ▁disease ; ▁and ▁in ▁Eth iop ia ▁during ▁the ▁Second ▁Ital o - E th iop ian ▁War ▁and ▁afterwards ▁by ▁ 1 9 3 8 ▁a ▁quarter ▁of ▁a ▁million ▁Eth iop ians ▁had
▁died . ▁▁ ▁Corpor at ist ▁econom ics ▁ ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁promoted ▁a ▁corpor at ist ▁economic ▁system . ▁The ▁economy ▁involved ▁employ er ▁and ▁employee ▁synd ic ates ▁being ▁linked ▁together ▁in ▁corpor ative ▁associations ▁to ▁collect ively ▁represent ▁the ▁nation ' s ▁economic ▁produ cers ▁and ▁work ▁alongside ▁the ▁state ▁to ▁set ▁national ▁economic ▁policy . ▁M uss ol ini ▁declared ▁such ▁econom ics ▁as ▁a ▁" Th ird ▁Altern ative " ▁to ▁capital ism ▁and ▁Marx ism ▁that ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁regarded ▁as ▁" ob sole te ▁do ctr ines ". ▁For ▁instance , ▁he ▁said ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 5 ▁that ▁orth odox ▁capital ism ▁no ▁longer ▁existed ▁in ▁the ▁country . ▁Pre lim inary ▁plans ▁as ▁of ▁ 1 9 3 9 ▁intended ▁to ▁divide ▁the ▁country ▁into ▁ 2 2 ▁corpor ations ▁which ▁would ▁send ▁represent atives ▁to ▁Parliament ▁from ▁each ▁industry . ▁ ▁State ▁permission ▁was ▁required ▁for ▁almost ▁any ▁business ▁activity , ▁such ▁as ▁ending ▁employ ment ▁or ▁expand ing ▁a ▁factory . ▁All ▁w ages ▁were ▁set ▁by ▁the ▁government . ▁However , ▁restrictions ▁on ▁labor ▁were ▁greater . ▁While ▁corpor ations ▁still ▁could ▁ear n ▁prof its , ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁supported ▁criminal ization ▁of ▁strik es ▁by ▁employees ▁and ▁lock outs ▁by ▁employ ers ▁as ▁illegal ▁acts ▁it ▁de emed ▁as ▁pre jud icial ▁to ▁the ▁national ▁community ▁as ▁a ▁whole . ▁Similar ▁to ▁the ▁B ols he vik s ▁in ▁Soviet ▁Russia , ▁M uss ol
ini ▁national ized ▁all ▁independent ▁trade ▁un ions ▁into ▁one ▁government - oper ated ▁synd icate , ▁the ▁Conf istr ada , ▁mand ating ▁union ▁membership ▁for ▁every ▁worker . ▁▁ ▁Age ▁and ▁gender ▁roles ▁ ▁The ▁Italian ▁F asc ists ' ▁political ▁anth em ▁was ▁called ▁Giov ine zza ▁( Y outh ). ▁F asc ism ▁ident ifies ▁the ▁physical ▁age ▁period ▁of ▁youth ▁as ▁a ▁critical ▁time ▁for ▁the ▁moral ▁development ▁of ▁people ▁that ▁will ▁affect ▁society . ▁ ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁purs ued ▁what ▁it ▁called ▁" m oral ▁h yg iene " ▁of ▁youth , ▁particularly ▁regarding ▁sexual ity . ▁F asc ist ▁Italy ▁promoted ▁what ▁it ▁considered ▁normal ▁sexual ▁behaviour ▁in ▁youth ▁while ▁den oun cing ▁what ▁it ▁considered ▁devi ant ▁sexual ▁behaviour . ▁It ▁condem ned ▁por n ography , ▁most ▁forms ▁of ▁birth ▁control ▁and ▁contra cept ive ▁devices ▁( with ▁the ▁exception ▁of ▁the ▁cond om ), ▁hom osex ual ity ▁and ▁prost itution ▁as ▁devi ant ▁sexual ▁behaviour . ▁F asc ist ▁Italy ▁regarded ▁the ▁promotion ▁of ▁male ▁sexual ▁exc itation ▁before ▁pub ert y ▁as ▁the ▁cause ▁of ▁criminal ity ▁amongst ▁male ▁youth . ▁F asc ist ▁Italy ▁reflected ▁the ▁belief ▁of ▁most ▁It ali ans ▁that ▁hom osex ual ity ▁was ▁wrong . ▁Instead ▁of ▁the ▁traditional ▁Catholic ▁teaching ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁sin , ▁a ▁new ▁approach ▁was ▁taken , ▁based ▁on ▁then - mod ern ▁ps y cho analysis , ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁social ▁disease . ▁F asc
ist ▁Italy ▁purs ued ▁an ▁ag gress ive ▁campaign ▁to ▁reduce ▁prost itution ▁of ▁young ▁women . ▁ ▁M uss ol ini ▁perce ived ▁women ' s ▁primary ▁role ▁to ▁be ▁child b ear ers ▁while ▁men ▁were ▁war riors , ▁once ▁saying ▁that ▁" war ▁is ▁to ▁man ▁what ▁mat ern ity ▁is ▁to ▁the ▁woman ". ▁In ▁an ▁effort ▁to ▁increase ▁birth r ates , ▁the ▁Italian ▁F asc ist ▁government ▁gave ▁financial ▁in cent ives ▁to ▁women ▁who ▁raised ▁large ▁families ▁and ▁initi ated ▁policies ▁designed ▁to ▁reduce ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁women ▁employed . ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁called ▁for ▁women ▁to ▁be ▁hon oured ▁as ▁" re produ cers ▁of ▁the ▁nation " ▁and ▁the ▁Italian ▁F asc ist ▁government ▁held ▁rit ual ▁cer emon ies ▁to ▁honour ▁women ' s ▁role ▁within ▁the ▁Italian ▁nation . ▁In ▁ 1 9 3 4 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁declared ▁that ▁employ ment ▁of ▁women ▁was ▁a ▁" major ▁aspect ▁of ▁the ▁th orn y ▁problem ▁of ▁un emp loyment " ▁and ▁that ▁for ▁women ▁working ▁was ▁" in compatible ▁with ▁child b ear ing ". ▁M uss ol ini ▁went ▁on ▁to ▁say ▁that ▁the ▁solution ▁to ▁un emp loyment ▁for ▁men ▁was ▁the ▁" ex od us ▁of ▁women ▁from ▁the ▁work ▁force ". ▁Although ▁the ▁initial ▁F asc ist ▁Man if esto ▁contained ▁a ▁reference ▁to ▁universal ▁suff rage , ▁this ▁broad ▁opposition ▁to ▁femin ism ▁meant ▁that ▁when ▁it ▁granted ▁women ▁the ▁right ▁to ▁vote ▁in
▁ 1 9 2 5 ▁it ▁was ▁limited ▁purely ▁to ▁voting ▁in ▁local ▁elections . Ke vin ▁Pass more , ▁Women , ▁G ender ▁and ▁F asc ism ▁in ▁Europe , ▁p . ▁ 1 6 ▁▁ ▁Trad ition ▁ ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁believed ▁that ▁the ▁success ▁of ▁Italian ▁national ism ▁required ▁a ▁clear ▁sense ▁of ▁a ▁shared ▁past ▁amongst ▁the ▁Italian ▁people ▁along ▁with ▁a ▁commit ment ▁to ▁a ▁modern ized ▁Italy . ▁In ▁a ▁famous ▁speech ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 6 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁called ▁for ▁F asc ist ▁art ▁that ▁was ▁" trad itional ist ▁and ▁at ▁the ▁same ▁time ▁modern , ▁that ▁looks ▁to ▁the ▁past ▁and ▁at ▁the ▁same ▁time ▁to ▁the ▁future ". ▁ ▁Trad itional ▁symbols ▁of ▁Roman ▁civil ization ▁were ▁util ized ▁by ▁the ▁F asc ists , ▁particularly ▁the ▁fas ces ▁that ▁symbol ized ▁unity , ▁authority ▁and ▁the ▁exercise ▁of ▁power . ▁Other ▁traditional ▁symbols ▁of ▁ancient ▁Rome ▁used ▁by ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁included ▁the ▁she - w olf ▁of ▁Rome . ▁The ▁fas ces ▁and ▁the ▁she - w olf ▁symbol ized ▁the ▁shared ▁Roman ▁her itage ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁regions ▁that ▁constit uted ▁the ▁Italian ▁nation . ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 6 , ▁the ▁fas ces ▁was ▁adopted ▁by ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁government ▁of ▁Italy ▁as ▁a ▁symbol ▁of ▁the ▁state . ▁In ▁that ▁year , ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁government ▁attempted ▁to ▁have ▁the ▁Italian ▁national ▁flag ▁red es igned ▁to ▁incorpor ate
▁the ▁fas ces ▁on ▁it . ▁However , ▁this ▁attempt ▁to ▁incorpor ate ▁the ▁fas ces ▁on ▁the ▁flag ▁was ▁stopped ▁by ▁strong ▁opposition ▁to ▁the ▁proposal ▁by ▁Italian ▁monarch ists . ▁After wards , ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁government ▁in ▁public ▁cer emon ies ▁rose ▁the ▁national ▁tr icol our ▁flag ▁along ▁with ▁a ▁F asc ist ▁black ▁flag . ▁However , ▁years ▁later ▁and ▁after ▁M uss ol ini ▁was ▁forced ▁from ▁power ▁by ▁the ▁King ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 3 ▁only ▁to ▁be ▁res cu ed ▁by ▁German ▁forces , ▁the ▁Italian ▁Social ▁Republic ▁founded ▁by ▁M uss ol ini ▁and ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁did ▁incorpor ate ▁the ▁fas ces ▁on ▁the ▁state ' s ▁war ▁flag , ▁which ▁was ▁a ▁variant ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁tr icol our ▁national ▁flag . ▁ ▁The ▁issue ▁of ▁the ▁rule ▁of ▁mon archy ▁or ▁republic ▁in ▁Italy ▁was ▁an ▁issue ▁that ▁changed ▁several ▁times ▁through ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁Italian ▁F asc ism , ▁as ▁initially ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁was ▁republic an ▁and ▁den ounced ▁the ▁Sav oy ▁mon archy . ▁However , ▁M uss ol ini ▁tact ically ▁abandoned ▁republic an ism ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 2 ▁and ▁recognized ▁that ▁the ▁accept ance ▁of ▁the ▁mon archy ▁was ▁a ▁necessary ▁comprom ise ▁to ▁gain ▁the ▁support ▁of ▁the ▁establishment ▁to ▁challenge ▁the ▁liberal ▁constitution al ▁order ▁that ▁also ▁supported ▁the ▁mon archy . ▁King ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁III ▁had ▁become ▁a ▁popular ▁r uler ▁in ▁the ▁after math ▁of
▁Italy ' s ▁g ains ▁after ▁World ▁War ▁I ▁and ▁the ▁army ▁held ▁close ▁loyal ty ▁to ▁the ▁King , ▁thus ▁any ▁idea ▁of ▁over throw ing ▁the ▁mon archy ▁was ▁disc arded ▁as ▁fool hard y ▁by ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁at ▁this ▁point . ▁Import antly , ▁F asc ism ' s ▁recognition ▁of ▁mon archy ▁provided ▁F asc ism ▁with ▁a ▁sense ▁of ▁historical ▁continu ity ▁and ▁legit im acy . ▁The ▁F asc ists ▁public ly ▁identified ▁King ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁II , ▁the ▁first ▁King ▁of ▁a ▁reun ited ▁Italy ▁who ▁had ▁initi ated ▁the ▁Ris org imento , ▁along ▁with ▁other ▁historic ▁Italian ▁figures ▁such ▁as ▁G ai us ▁Mar ius , ▁Julius ▁Ca esar , ▁Giuseppe ▁M azz ini , ▁Camil lo ▁B enso , ▁Count ▁of ▁Cav our , ▁Giuseppe ▁Gar ib ald i ▁and ▁others , ▁for ▁being ▁within ▁a ▁tradition ▁of ▁dict ator ship ▁in ▁Italy ▁that ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁declared ▁that ▁they ▁em ulated . ▁However , ▁this ▁comprom ise ▁with ▁the ▁mon archy ▁did ▁not ▁yield ▁a ▁cord ial ▁relationship ▁between ▁the ▁King ▁and ▁M uss ol ini . ▁Although ▁M uss ol ini ▁had ▁formally ▁accepted ▁the ▁mon archy , ▁he ▁purs ued ▁and ▁largely ▁achieved ▁reducing ▁the ▁power ▁of ▁the ▁King ▁to ▁that ▁of ▁a ▁figure head . ▁The ▁King ▁initially ▁held ▁complete ▁nom inal ▁legal ▁authority ▁over ▁the ▁military ▁through ▁the ▁Stat uto ▁Albert ino , ▁but ▁this ▁was ▁ended ▁during ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁regime ▁when
▁M uss ol ini ▁created ▁the ▁position ▁of ▁First ▁Marsh al ▁of ▁the ▁Empire ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 8 , ▁a ▁two - person ▁position ▁of ▁control ▁over ▁the ▁military ▁held ▁by ▁both ▁the ▁King ▁and ▁the ▁head ▁of ▁government ▁that ▁had ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁elimin ating ▁the ▁King ' s ▁previously ▁exclusive ▁legal ▁authority ▁over ▁the ▁military ▁by ▁giving ▁M uss ol ini ▁equal ▁legal ▁authority ▁to ▁the ▁King ▁over ▁the ▁military . ▁In ▁the ▁ 1 9 3 0 s , ▁M uss ol ini ▁became ▁ag gra v ated ▁by ▁the ▁mon archy ' s ▁continued ▁existence ▁due ▁to ▁env y ▁of ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁his ▁counter part ▁in ▁Germany ▁Adolf ▁Hitler ▁was ▁both ▁head ▁of ▁state ▁and ▁head ▁of ▁government ▁of ▁a ▁republic ; ▁and ▁M uss ol ini ▁in ▁private ▁den ounced ▁the ▁mon archy ▁and ▁indicated ▁that ▁he ▁had ▁plans ▁to ▁dis m ant le ▁the ▁mon archy ▁and ▁create ▁a ▁republic ▁with ▁himself ▁as ▁head ▁of ▁state ▁of ▁Italy ▁upon ▁an ▁Italian ▁success ▁in ▁the ▁then - antic ip ated ▁major ▁war ▁about ▁to ▁er upt ▁in ▁Europe . ▁ ▁After ▁being ▁removed ▁from ▁office ▁and ▁placed ▁under ▁arrest ▁by ▁the ▁King ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 3 , ▁with ▁the ▁Kingdom ▁of ▁Italy ' s ▁new ▁non - f asc ist ▁government ▁switching ▁sides ▁from ▁the ▁A xis ▁to ▁the ▁Al lies , ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁returned ▁to ▁republic an ism ▁and ▁condem n ation ▁of ▁the ▁mon archy . ▁On ▁ 1
8 ▁September ▁ 1 9 4 3 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁made ▁his ▁first ▁public ▁address ▁to ▁the ▁Italian ▁people ▁since ▁his ▁rescue ▁from ▁arrest ▁by ▁al lied ▁German ▁forces , ▁in ▁which ▁he ▁comm ended ▁the ▁loyal ty ▁of ▁Hitler ▁as ▁an ▁al ly ▁while ▁condem ning ▁King ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁III ▁of ▁the ▁Kingdom ▁of ▁Italy ▁for ▁bet ray ing ▁Italian ▁F asc ism . ▁On ▁the ▁topic ▁of ▁the ▁mon archy ▁removing ▁him ▁from ▁power ▁and ▁dis m ant ling ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁regime , ▁M uss ol ini ▁stated : ▁" It ▁is ▁not ▁the ▁regime ▁that ▁has ▁bet rayed ▁the ▁mon archy , ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁mon archy ▁that ▁has ▁bet rayed ▁the ▁regime " ▁and ▁that ▁" When ▁a ▁mon archy ▁fails ▁in ▁its ▁duties , ▁it ▁los es ▁every ▁reason ▁for ▁being . ▁... ▁The ▁state ▁we ▁want ▁to ▁establish ▁will ▁be ▁national ▁and ▁social ▁in ▁the ▁highest ▁sense ▁of ▁the ▁word ; ▁that ▁is , ▁it ▁will ▁be ▁F asc ist , ▁thus ▁returning ▁to ▁our ▁orig ins ". ▁The ▁F asc ists ▁at ▁this ▁point ▁did ▁not ▁den ounce ▁the ▁House ▁of ▁Sav oy ▁in ▁the ▁entire ty ▁of ▁its ▁history ▁and ▁cred ited ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁II ▁for ▁his ▁re jection ▁of ▁" sc orn fully ▁d ish on ou rable ▁p act s " ▁and ▁den ounced ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁III ▁for ▁bet ray ing ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁II ▁by ▁entering ▁a ▁d ish on ou rable ▁p act ▁with
▁the ▁Al lies . ▁ ▁The ▁relationship ▁between ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁and ▁the ▁Catholic ▁Church ▁was ▁mixed , ▁as ▁originally ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁were ▁highly ▁anti - cler ical ▁and ▁host ile ▁to ▁Catholic ism , ▁though ▁from ▁the ▁mid ▁to ▁late ▁ 1 9 2 0 s ▁anti - cler ical ism ▁lost ▁ground ▁in ▁the ▁movement ▁as ▁M uss ol ini ▁in ▁power ▁sought ▁to ▁seek ▁accord ▁with ▁the ▁Church ▁as ▁the ▁Church ▁held ▁major ▁influence ▁in ▁Italian ▁society ▁with ▁most ▁It ali ans ▁being ▁Catholic . ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 9 , ▁the ▁Italian ▁government ▁signed ▁the ▁Later an ▁Tre aty ▁with ▁the ▁Holy ▁See , ▁a ▁conc ord at ▁between ▁Italy ▁and ▁the ▁Catholic ▁Church ▁that ▁allowed ▁for ▁the ▁creation ▁of ▁a ▁small ▁enc lave ▁known ▁as ▁V at ican ▁City ▁as ▁a ▁so ver eign ▁state ▁representing ▁the ▁pap acy . ▁This ▁ended ▁years ▁of ▁perce ived ▁al ien ation ▁between ▁the ▁Church ▁and ▁the ▁Italian ▁government ▁after ▁Italy ▁an nex ed ▁the ▁Pap al ▁States ▁in ▁ 1 8 7 0 . ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁just ified ▁its ▁ad option ▁of ▁ant is emit ic ▁laws ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 8 ▁by ▁claim ing ▁that ▁Italy ▁was ▁ful fill ing ▁the ▁Christian ▁religious ▁mand ate ▁of ▁the ▁Catholic ▁Church ▁that ▁had ▁been ▁initi ated ▁by ▁Pope ▁In noc ent ▁III ▁in ▁the ▁Four th ▁Later an ▁Council ▁of ▁ 1 2 1 5 , ▁where by ▁the ▁Pope ▁issued ▁strict ▁reg ulation
▁of ▁the ▁life ▁of ▁Jews ▁in ▁Christian ▁lands . ▁Jews ▁were ▁prohib ited ▁from ▁holding ▁any ▁public ▁office ▁that ▁would ▁give ▁them ▁power ▁over ▁Christians ▁and ▁Jews ▁were ▁required ▁to ▁wear ▁distinct ive ▁cl othing ▁to ▁distinguish ▁them ▁from ▁Christians . ▁▁ ▁Do ctrine ▁The ▁Do ctrine ▁of ▁F asc ism ▁( La ▁dot tr ina ▁del ▁fasc ismo , ▁ 1 9 3 2 ) ▁by ▁the ▁actual ist ▁phil os opher ▁Giovanni ▁Gent ile ▁is ▁the ▁official ▁form ulation ▁of ▁Italian ▁F asc ism , ▁published ▁under ▁Ben ito ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁name ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 3 . ▁Gent ile ▁was ▁intellect ually ▁influenced ▁by ▁H eg el , ▁Pl ato , ▁Bened etto ▁Cro ce ▁and ▁Gi amb att ista ▁V ico , ▁thus ▁his ▁actual ▁ideal ism ▁philosophy ▁was ▁the ▁basis ▁for ▁F asc ism . ▁Hence , ▁the ▁Do ctr ines ▁Welt ans ch au ung ▁propos es ▁the ▁world ▁as ▁action ▁in ▁the ▁real m ▁of ▁human ity ▁— ▁beyond ▁the ▁quot id ian ▁con str ict ions ▁of ▁contemporary ▁political ▁tr end , ▁by ▁reject ing ▁" per pet ual ▁peace " ▁as ▁fant ast ical ▁and ▁accepting ▁Man ▁as ▁a ▁species ▁contin ually ▁at ▁war ; ▁those ▁who ▁meet ▁the ▁challenge , ▁achieve ▁nob ility . ▁To ▁wit , ▁actual ▁ideal ism ▁generally ▁accepted ▁that ▁conquer ors ▁were ▁the ▁men ▁of ▁historical ▁consequence , ▁e . g . ▁the ▁Roman ▁Julius ▁Ca esar , ▁the ▁Greek ▁Alexander ▁the ▁Great ,
▁the ▁Frank ▁Char lemagne ▁and ▁the ▁French ▁Napoleon . ▁The ▁phil os opher – int el lect ual ▁Gent ile ▁was ▁especially ▁inspired ▁by ▁the ▁Roman ▁Empire ▁( 2 7 ▁BC ▁– ▁AD ▁ 4 7 6 , ▁ 1 4 5 3 ), ▁from ▁wh ence ▁der ives ▁F asc ism : ▁▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 5 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁assumed ▁the ▁title ▁Du ce ▁( L ead er ), ▁derived ▁from ▁the ▁Latin ▁du x ▁( le ader ), ▁a ▁Roman ▁Republic ▁military - command ▁title . ▁Moreover , ▁although ▁F asc ist ▁Italy ▁( 1 9 2 2 – 1 9 4 3 ) ▁is ▁histor ically ▁considered ▁an ▁author itar ian – total itar ian ▁dict ator ship , ▁it ▁retained ▁the ▁original ▁" li ber al ▁dem ocr atic " ▁government ▁fa ç ade : ▁the ▁Grand ▁Council ▁of ▁F asc ism ▁remained ▁active ▁as ▁administr ators ; ▁and ▁King ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁III ▁of ▁Italy ▁could — at ▁the ▁risk ▁of ▁his ▁crown — d ismiss ▁M uss ol ini ▁as ▁Italian ▁Prime ▁Minister ▁as ▁in ▁the ▁event ▁he ▁did . ▁ ▁Gent ile ▁defined ▁F asc ism ▁as ▁an ▁anti - int el lect ual ▁doctrine , ▁ep ist em olog ically ▁based ▁on ▁faith ▁rather ▁than ▁reason . ▁F asc ist ▁myst ic ism ▁emphas ized ▁the ▁importance ▁of ▁political ▁myth s , ▁which ▁were ▁true ▁not ▁as ▁empir ical ▁facts , ▁but ▁as ▁" met are ality ". ▁F asc
ist ▁art , ▁architecture ▁and ▁symbols ▁constit uted ▁a ▁process ▁which ▁converted ▁F asc ism ▁into ▁a ▁sort ▁of ▁a ▁civil ▁religion ▁or ▁political ▁religion . ▁La ▁dot tr ina ▁del ▁fasc ismo ▁states ▁that ▁F asc ism ▁is ▁a ▁" rel ig ious ▁conception ▁of ▁life " ▁and ▁forms ▁a ▁" sp irit ual ▁community " ▁in ▁contrast ▁to ▁b our ge ois ▁material ism . ▁The ▁s log an ▁Cred ere ▁O bb ed ire ▁Com b atter e ▁(" Bel ieve , ▁O bey , ▁Fight ") ▁reflect s ▁the ▁importance ▁of ▁political ▁faith ▁in ▁F asc ism . ▁ ▁According ▁to ▁historian ▁Ze ev ▁Stern hell , ▁" most ▁synd ical ist ▁leaders ▁were ▁among ▁the ▁found ers ▁of ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁movement ", ▁who ▁in ▁later ▁years ▁gained ▁key ▁posts ▁in ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁regime . ▁M uss ol ini ▁expressed ▁great ▁adm iration ▁for ▁the ▁ideas ▁of ▁Georges ▁Sor el , ▁who ▁he ▁claimed ▁was ▁instrument al ▁in ▁bir thing ▁the ▁core ▁principles ▁of ▁Italian ▁fasc ism . ▁J . ▁L . ▁Tal mon ▁argued ▁that ▁F asc ism ▁bil led ▁itself ▁" not ▁only ▁as ▁an ▁alternative , ▁but ▁also ▁as ▁the ▁he ir ▁to ▁social ism ". La ▁dot tr ina ▁del ▁fasc ismo ▁proposed ▁an ▁Italy ▁of ▁greater ▁living ▁standards ▁under ▁a ▁one - party ▁F asc ist ▁system ▁than ▁under ▁the ▁multi - party ▁liberal ▁dem ocr atic ▁government ▁of ▁ 1 9 2 0 . ▁As ▁the ▁leader
▁of ▁the ▁National ▁F asc ist ▁Party ▁( PN F , ▁Part ito ▁Nazionale ▁F asc ista ), ▁M uss ol ini ▁said ▁that ▁dem ocracy ▁is ▁" be aut iful ▁in ▁theory ; ▁in ▁practice , ▁it ▁is ▁a ▁f alla cy " ▁and ▁spoke ▁of ▁celebr ating ▁the ▁bur ial ▁of ▁the ▁" put rid ▁cor pse ▁of ▁liberty ". ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 3 , ▁to ▁give ▁Deput y ▁M uss ol ini ▁control ▁of ▁the ▁pl ural ist ▁parliament ary ▁government ▁of ▁the ▁Kingdom ▁of ▁Italy ▁( 1 8 6 1 – 1 9 4 6 ), ▁an ▁econom ist , ▁the ▁Baron ▁Gia como ▁A cer bo , ▁proposed — and ▁the ▁Italian ▁Parliament ▁approved — the ▁A cer bo ▁Law , ▁changing ▁the ▁elect oral ▁system ▁from ▁proportional ▁representation ▁to ▁majority ▁representation . ▁The ▁party ▁who ▁received ▁the ▁most ▁votes ▁( prov ided ▁they ▁possessed ▁at ▁least ▁ 2 5 ▁percent ▁of ▁cast ▁votes ) ▁won ▁two - third s ▁of ▁the ▁parliament ; ▁the ▁remaining ▁third ▁was ▁proportion ately ▁shared ▁among ▁the ▁other ▁parties , ▁thus ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁manip ulation ▁of ▁liberal ▁dem ocr atic ▁law ▁that ▁rendered ▁Italy ▁a ▁one - party ▁state . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 4 , ▁the ▁P NF ▁won ▁the ▁election ▁with ▁ 6 5 ▁percent ▁of ▁the ▁votes , ▁yet ▁the ▁United ▁Social ist ▁Party ▁refused ▁to ▁accept ▁such ▁a ▁defeat — es pecially ▁Deput y ▁Gia como ▁Mat te otti , ▁who ▁on

osoph ic ▁development ▁of ▁early ▁Italian ▁F asc ism . ▁Con sequ ent ▁to ▁the ▁Tre aty ▁of ▁Rap allo ▁( 1 9 2 0 ), ▁the ▁metropol itan ▁Italian ▁military ▁de posed ▁the ▁Reg ency ▁of ▁Du ce ▁D ' An n un z io ▁on ▁Christmas ▁ 1 9 2 0 . ▁In ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁the ▁fasc ist ▁model ▁of ▁government , ▁D ' An n un z io ▁was ▁a ▁national ist ▁and ▁not ▁a ▁fasc ist , ▁whose ▁legacy ▁of ▁political – p ra xis ▁(" Pol it ics ▁as ▁Theatre ") ▁was ▁sty list ic ▁( cer em ony , ▁uniform , ▁har ang ue ▁and ▁chant ing ) ▁and ▁not ▁substant ive , ▁which ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ▁art fully ▁developed ▁as ▁a ▁government ▁model . R og er ▁E at well , ▁F asc ism : ▁A ▁History ▁( 1 9 9 5 ) p . ▁ 4 9 ▁ ▁At ▁the ▁same ▁time , ▁M uss ol ini ▁and ▁many ▁of ▁his ▁revolution ary ▁synd ical ist ▁ad her ents ▁grav itated ▁towards ▁a ▁form ▁of ▁revolution ary ▁national ism ▁in ▁an ▁effort ▁to ▁" ident ify ▁the ▁' comm un ality ' ▁of ▁man ▁not ▁with ▁class , ▁but ▁with ▁the ▁nation ". ▁According ▁to ▁A . ▁James ▁Greg or , ▁M uss ol ini ▁came ▁to ▁believe ▁that ▁" F asc ism ▁was ▁the ▁only ▁form ▁of ▁' social ism ' ▁appropriate ▁to ▁the ▁pro let arian ▁nations ▁of ▁the ▁tw enti
eth ▁century " ▁while ▁he ▁was ▁in ▁the ▁process ▁of ▁sh ifting ▁his ▁views ▁from ▁social ism ▁to ▁national ism . ▁En rico ▁Cor rad ini , ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁early ▁influ ences ▁on ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁thought ▁and ▁later ▁a ▁member ▁of ▁his ▁administration , ▁champion ed ▁the ▁concept ▁of ▁pro let arian ▁national ism , ▁writing ▁about ▁Italy ▁in ▁ 1 9 1 0 : ▁" We ▁are ▁the ▁pro let arian ▁people ▁in ▁respect ▁to ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁world . ▁National ism ▁is ▁our ▁social ism ". ▁M uss ol ini ▁would ▁come ▁to ▁use ▁similar ▁word ing , ▁for ▁instance ▁referring ▁to ▁F asc ist ▁Italy ▁during ▁World ▁War ▁II ▁as ▁the ▁" pro let arian ▁nations ▁that ▁rise ▁up ▁against ▁the ▁plut ocr ats ". ▁▁ ▁Labor ▁un rest ▁▁ ▁Given ▁Italian ▁F asc ism ' s ▁p rag m atic ▁political ▁am alg am ations ▁of ▁left - wing ▁and ▁right - wing ▁so cio - e conom ic ▁policies , ▁dis content ed ▁workers ▁and ▁pe as ants ▁proved ▁an ▁abund ant ▁source ▁of ▁popular ▁political ▁power , ▁especially ▁because ▁of ▁pe asant ▁opposition ▁to ▁social ist ▁agricult ural ▁collect iv ism . ▁Thus ▁armed , ▁the ▁former ▁social ist ▁Ben ito ▁M uss ol ini ▁or ator ically ▁inspired ▁and ▁mobil ized ▁country ▁and ▁working - class ▁people : ▁" We ▁declare ▁war ▁on ▁social ism , ▁not ▁because ▁it ▁is ▁social ist , ▁but ▁because ▁it ▁has ▁opposed ▁national ism
". ▁Moreover , ▁for ▁campaign ▁finan cing ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 9 2 0 – 1 9 2 1 ▁period ▁the ▁National ▁F asc ist ▁Party ▁also ▁court ed ▁the ▁industrial ists ▁and ▁( histor ically ▁fe ud al ) ▁land own ers ▁by ▁appe aling ▁to ▁their ▁fear s ▁of ▁left - wing ▁social ist ▁and ▁B ols he vik ▁labor ▁politics ▁and ▁urban ▁and ▁rural ▁strik es . ▁The ▁F asc ists ▁promised ▁a ▁good ▁business ▁climate ▁of ▁cost - effect ive ▁labor , ▁w age ▁and ▁political ▁stability ; ▁and ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁Party ▁was ▁en ▁route ▁to ▁power . ▁ ▁Histor ian ▁Charles ▁F . ▁Del z ell ▁reports : ▁" At ▁first , ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁Revolution ary ▁Party ▁( PF R ) ▁was ▁concentr ated ▁in ▁Milan ▁and ▁a ▁few ▁other ▁cities . ▁They ▁gained ▁ground ▁quite ▁slowly , ▁between ▁ 1 9 1 9 ▁and ▁ 1 9 2 0 ; ▁not ▁until ▁after ▁the ▁sc are , ▁brought ▁about ▁by ▁the ▁workers ▁" occupation ▁of ▁the ▁fact ories " ▁in ▁the ▁late ▁summer ▁of ▁ 1 9 2 0 ▁did ▁fasc ism ▁become ▁really ▁w ides p read . ▁The ▁industrial ists ▁began ▁to ▁throw ▁their ▁financial ▁support ▁behind ▁M uss ol ini ▁after ▁he ▁renamed ▁his ▁party ▁and ▁ret ract ed ▁his ▁former ▁support ▁for ▁Len in ▁and ▁the ▁Russian ▁Revolution . ▁Moreover , ▁toward ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁ 1 9 2 0 , ▁fasc ism ▁began ▁to ▁spread ▁into ▁the ▁coun
tr ys ide , ▁b idd ing ▁for ▁the ▁support ▁of ▁large ▁land own ers , ▁particularly ▁in ▁the ▁area ▁between ▁Bolog na ▁and ▁Ferr ara , ▁a ▁traditional ▁strong hold ▁of ▁the ▁Left , ▁and ▁scene ▁of ▁frequent ▁violence . ▁Social ist ▁and ▁Catholic ▁organiz ers ▁of ▁farm ▁hands ▁in ▁that ▁region , ▁Venez ia ▁Giul ia , ▁T usc any , ▁and ▁even ▁distant ▁Ap ul ia , ▁were ▁soon ▁attacked ▁by ▁Black sh irt ▁squad s ▁of ▁F asc ists , ▁armed ▁with ▁cast or ▁oil , ▁black jack s , ▁and ▁more ▁le th al ▁weapons . ▁The ▁era ▁of ▁squad r ismo ▁and ▁night ly ▁exped itions ▁to ▁burn ▁Social ist ▁and ▁Catholic ▁labor ▁headquarters ▁had ▁begun . ▁During ▁this ▁time ▁period , ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁fasc ist ▁squad s ▁also ▁engaged ▁in ▁violent ▁attacks ▁against ▁the ▁Church ▁where ▁" se ver al ▁pri ests ▁were ▁assass in ated ▁and ▁churches ▁burn ed ▁by ▁the ▁F asc ists ". ▁▁ ▁F asc ism ▁emp ower ed ▁ ▁Italy ' s ▁use ▁of ▁dare dev il ▁el ite ▁shock ▁troops , ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁Ar d iti , ▁beginning ▁in ▁ 1 9 1 7 , ▁was ▁an ▁important ▁influence ▁on ▁F asc ism . ▁The ▁Ar d iti ▁were ▁soldiers ▁who ▁were ▁specifically ▁trained ▁for ▁a ▁life ▁of ▁violence ▁and ▁wore ▁unique ▁black sh irt ▁uniform s ▁and ▁fe zz es . ▁The ▁Ar d iti ▁formed ▁a ▁national ▁organization ▁in ▁November ▁ 1 9
1 8 , ▁the ▁Ass ocia zione ▁fra ▁gli ▁Ar d iti ▁d ' Italia , ▁which ▁by ▁mid - 1 9 1 9 ▁had ▁about ▁twenty ▁thousand ▁young ▁men ▁within ▁it . ▁M uss ol ini ▁appe aled ▁to ▁the ▁Ar d iti ▁and ▁the ▁F asc ists ' ▁squad rist i , ▁developed ▁after ▁the ▁war , ▁were ▁based ▁upon ▁the ▁Ar d iti . ▁ ▁World ▁War ▁I ▁infl ated ▁Italy ' s ▁economy ▁with ▁great ▁deb ts , ▁un emp loyment ▁( ag gra v ated ▁by ▁thousands ▁of ▁dem obil ised ▁soldiers ), ▁social ▁dis content ▁featuring ▁strik es , ▁organ ised ▁crime ▁and ▁an arch ist , ▁social ist ▁and ▁commun ist ▁ins urre ctions . ▁When ▁the ▁elected ▁Italian ▁Liberal ▁Party ▁Government ▁could ▁not ▁control ▁Italy , ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁Revolution ary ▁Party ▁( Part ito ▁F asc ista ▁Riv ol uz ionario , ▁P FR ) ▁leader ▁M uss ol ini ▁took ▁matters ▁in ▁hand , ▁comb ating ▁those ▁issues ▁with ▁the ▁Black sh ir ts , ▁par amil it ary ▁squad s ▁of ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁veter ans ▁and ▁ex ▁social ists ▁when ▁Prime ▁Minister s ▁such ▁as ▁Giovanni ▁Gi ol itt i ▁allowed ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁taking ▁the ▁law ▁in ▁hand . ▁The ▁violence ▁between ▁social ists ▁and ▁the ▁mostly ▁self - organ ized ▁squad rist i ▁milit ias , ▁especially ▁in ▁the ▁coun tr ys ide , ▁had ▁increased ▁so ▁dram atically ▁that ▁M uss ol ini ▁was ▁press ured
▁to ▁call ▁a ▁tr uce ▁to ▁bring ▁about ▁“ re con c ili ation ▁with ▁the ▁Social ists ”. ▁Sign ed ▁in ▁early ▁August ▁ 1 9 2 1 , ▁M uss ol ini ▁and ▁the ▁Italian ▁Social ist ▁Party ▁( PN F ) ▁agreed ▁to ▁the ▁P act ▁of ▁Pac ification , ▁which ▁was ▁immediately ▁condem ned ▁by ▁most ▁ras ▁leaders ▁in ▁the ▁squad r ismo . ▁The ▁peace ▁p act ▁was ▁officially ▁den ounced ▁during ▁the ▁Third ▁F asc ist ▁Congress ▁on ▁ 7 – 1 0 ▁November ▁ 1 9 2 1 . ▁ ▁The ▁Liberal ▁government ▁preferred ▁F asc ist ▁class ▁collaboration ▁to ▁the ▁Commun ist ▁Party ▁of ▁Italy ' s ▁class ▁conflict ▁should ▁they ▁assume ▁government ▁as ▁had ▁Vladimir ▁Len in ' s ▁B ols he vik s ▁in ▁the ▁recent ▁Russian ▁Revolution ▁of ▁ 1 9 1 7 , ▁although ▁M uss ol ini ▁had ▁originally ▁pra ised ▁Len in ' s ▁October ▁Revolution ▁and ▁public ly ▁referred ▁to ▁himself ▁in ▁ 1 9 1 9 ▁as ▁" Len in ▁of ▁Italy ". The ▁Man if esto ▁of ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁Str ug gle ▁( J une ▁ 1 9 1 9 ) ▁of ▁the ▁P FR ▁presented ▁the ▁politico - ph il osoph ic ▁ten ets ▁of ▁F asc ism . ▁The ▁manif esto ▁was ▁author ed ▁by ▁national ▁synd ical ist ▁Alc este ▁De ▁Am br is ▁and ▁Fut ur ist ▁movement ▁leader ▁Fil ipp o ▁T omm aso ▁Mar in etti . ▁The
▁manif esto ▁was ▁divided ▁into ▁four ▁sections , ▁describing ▁the ▁movement ' s ▁object ives ▁in ▁political , ▁social , ▁military ▁and ▁financial ▁fields . ▁ ▁By ▁the ▁early ▁ 1 9 2 0 s , ▁popular ▁support ▁for ▁the ▁P FR ' s ▁fight ▁against ▁B ols he v ism ▁number ed ▁some ▁ 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 ▁people . ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 1 , ▁the ▁F asc isti ▁( F asc ists ) ▁met am orph osed ▁into ▁the ▁P NF ▁and ▁achieved ▁political ▁legit im acy ▁when ▁M uss ol ini ▁was ▁elected ▁to ▁the ▁Chamber ▁of ▁Deput ies ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 2 . ▁Although ▁the ▁Liberal ▁Party ▁retained ▁power , ▁the ▁gover ning ▁prime ▁minist ries ▁proved ▁e ph em eral , ▁especially ▁that ▁of ▁the ▁fifth ▁Prime ▁Minister ▁Luigi ▁Fact a , ▁whose ▁government ▁proved ▁vac ill ating . ▁ ▁To ▁dep ose ▁the ▁weak ▁parliament ary ▁dem ocracy , ▁Deput y ▁M uss ol ini ▁( with ▁military , ▁business ▁and ▁liberal ▁right - wing ▁support ) ▁launched ▁the ▁P NF ▁March ▁on ▁Rome ▁( 2 7 – 2 9 ▁October ▁ 1 9 2 2 ) ▁coup ▁d ' état ▁to ▁ou st ▁Prime ▁Minister ▁Luigi ▁Fact a ▁and ▁assume ▁the ▁government ▁of ▁Italy ▁to ▁restore ▁national ist ▁pride , ▁restart ▁the ▁economy , ▁increase ▁product ivity ▁with ▁labor ▁controls , ▁remove ▁economic ▁business ▁controls ▁and ▁imp ose ▁law ▁and ▁order . ▁On ▁ 2 8 ▁October , ▁whilst
▁the ▁" M arch " ▁occurred , ▁King ▁Victor ▁Em manuel ▁III ▁with d rew ▁his ▁support ▁of ▁Prime ▁Minister ▁Fact a ▁and ▁appointed ▁P NF ▁Le ader ▁Ben ito ▁M uss ol ini ▁as ▁the ▁sixth ▁Prime ▁Minister ▁of ▁Italy . ▁ ▁The ▁March ▁on ▁Rome ▁became ▁a ▁victory ▁para de : ▁the ▁F asc ists ▁believed ▁their ▁success ▁was ▁revolution ary ▁and ▁traditional ist . ▁▁ ▁Econom y ▁▁ ▁Until ▁ 1 9 2 5 , ▁when ▁the ▁liberal ▁econom ist ▁Alberto ▁de ▁Stef ani , ▁although ▁a ▁former ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁squad rist i , ▁was ▁removed ▁from ▁his ▁post ▁as ▁Minister ▁of ▁Econom ics ▁( 1 9 2 2 – 1 9 2 5 ), ▁Italy ' s ▁coal ition ▁government ▁was ▁able ▁to ▁restart ▁the ▁economy ▁and ▁bal anced ▁the ▁national ▁budget . ▁Stef ani ▁developed ▁economic ▁policies ▁that ▁were ▁aligned ▁with ▁classical ▁liberal ism ▁principles ▁as ▁inheritance , ▁lux ury ▁and ▁foreign ▁capital ▁tax es ▁were ▁abol ished ; ▁and ▁life ▁ins urance ▁( 1 9 2 3 ) ▁and ▁the ▁state ▁communic ations ▁mon opol ies ▁were ▁priv at ised ▁and ▁so ▁on . ▁During ▁Italy ' s ▁coal ition ▁government ▁era , ▁pro - bus iness ▁policies ▁apparently ▁did ▁not ▁contradict ▁the ▁State ' s ▁finan cing ▁of ▁banks ▁and ▁industry . ▁Political ▁scient ist ▁Franklin ▁Hugh ▁Ad ler ▁referred ▁to ▁this ▁coal ition ▁period ▁between ▁M uss ol ini ' s ▁appointment ▁as ▁prime ▁minister ▁on ▁ 3 1 ▁October ▁ 1 9 2

▁as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁Mar con i ▁company , ▁to ▁which ▁the ▁Italian ▁F asc ist ▁Government ▁granted ▁official ▁radio - bro ad cast ▁mon opol y . ▁After ▁the ▁defeat ▁of ▁F asc ism ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 4 , ▁URI ▁became ▁Radio ▁Aud izioni ▁Italian e ▁( RA I ) ▁and ▁was ▁renamed ▁RA I ▁— ▁Rad i ote le vis ione ▁Italiana ▁with ▁the ▁advent ▁of ▁television ▁in ▁ 1 9 5 4 . ▁ ▁Given ▁the ▁over wh el ming ly ▁rural ▁nature ▁of ▁Italian ▁economy ▁in ▁the ▁period , ▁agricult ure ▁was ▁vital ▁to ▁F asc ist ▁economic ▁policies ▁and ▁propag anda . ▁To ▁strength en ▁the ▁domestic ▁Italian ▁production ▁of ▁gra in , ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁Government ▁established ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 5 ▁protection ist ▁policies ▁that ▁ultimately ▁failed ▁( see ▁the ▁Battle ▁for ▁Gra in ). ▁Histor ian ▁Den is ▁Mack ▁Smith ▁reports : ▁" Success ▁in ▁this ▁battle ▁was ▁[...] ▁another ▁ill us ory ▁propag anda ▁victory , ▁won ▁at ▁the ▁exp ense ▁of ▁the ▁Italian ▁economy ▁in ▁general , ▁and ▁consum ers ▁in ▁particular . ▁[...] ▁Those ▁who ▁gained ▁were ▁the ▁own ers ▁of ▁the ▁Lat if und ia , ▁or ▁" lat if ond i ", ▁and ▁the ▁proper t ied ▁classes ▁in ▁general . ▁[...] ▁[ M uss ol ini ' s ] ▁policy ▁con ferred ▁a ▁heavy ▁subs id y ▁on ▁the ▁Lat if ond isti ". ▁ ▁From ▁ 1 9 2 6 ▁following ▁the ▁P act
▁of ▁the ▁Vid oni ▁Palace ▁and ▁the ▁Sy nd ical ▁La ws , ▁business ▁and ▁labour ▁were ▁organized ▁into ▁ 1 2 ▁separate ▁associations , ▁out law ing ▁or ▁integr ating ▁all ▁others . ▁These ▁organizations ▁negoti ated ▁labour ▁contract s ▁on ▁beh alf ▁of ▁all ▁its ▁members ▁with ▁the ▁state ▁acting ▁as ▁the ▁arbitr ator . ▁The ▁state ▁t ended ▁to ▁favour ▁big ▁industry ▁over ▁small ▁industry , ▁commerce , ▁bank ing , ▁agricult ure , ▁labour ▁and ▁transport ▁even ▁though ▁each ▁sector ▁officially ▁had ▁equal ▁representation . ▁Pr icing , ▁production ▁and ▁distribution ▁practices ▁were ▁controlled ▁by ▁employ er ▁associations ▁rather ▁than ▁individual ▁fir ms ▁and ▁labour ▁synd ic ates ▁negoti ated ▁collect ive ▁labour ▁contract s ▁binding ▁all ▁fir ms ▁in ▁the ▁particular ▁sector . ▁En for cement ▁of ▁contract s ▁was ▁difficult ▁and ▁the ▁large ▁b ureau c racy ▁delayed ▁resolution s ▁of ▁labour ▁disput es . ▁ ▁After ▁ 1 9 2 9 , ▁the ▁F asc ist ▁regime ▁counter ed ▁the ▁Great ▁De pression ▁with ▁massive ▁public ▁works ▁programs , ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁dra ining ▁of ▁the ▁Pont ine ▁Marsh es , ▁hydro elect ric ity ▁development , ▁railway ▁improvement ▁and ▁re arm ament . ▁In ▁ 1 9 3 3 , ▁the ▁Ist ituto ▁per ▁la ▁Ric ost ru zione ▁Indust ri ale ▁( I RI ▁— ▁Institute ▁for ▁Indust rial ▁Re const ruction ) ▁was ▁established ▁to ▁subs id ize ▁failing ▁companies ▁and ▁soon ▁controlled ▁important ▁port ions ▁of ▁the ▁national ▁economy ▁via ▁government -

▁of ▁the ▁Act , ▁the ▁Secretary ▁of ▁Health ▁and ▁Human ▁Services ▁is ▁author ized ▁" follow ing ▁a ▁written ▁request ▁by ▁any ▁employ er ▁or ▁author ized ▁representative ▁of ▁employees , ▁to ▁determine ▁whether ▁any ▁subst ance ▁normally ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁place ▁of ▁employ ment ▁has ▁potentially ▁to xic ▁effects ▁in ▁such ▁concentr ations ▁as ▁used ▁or ▁found ." ▁▁ ▁Emp loy ees , ▁employ ers , ▁and ▁labor ▁un ions ▁can ▁request ▁assistance ▁from ▁the ▁H HE ▁program ▁at ▁no ▁cost ▁to ▁them . ▁The ▁H HE ▁program ▁respond s ▁to ▁requests ▁through ▁a ▁variety ▁of ▁methods , ▁including ▁tele phone ▁consult ations ▁and ▁field ▁investig ations . ▁For ▁field ▁investig ations , ▁N IOS H ▁provides ▁a ▁report ▁detail ing ▁the ▁ha z ards ▁found ▁and ▁out lin ing ▁rem ed iation ▁recommend ations . ▁N IOS H ▁does ▁not ▁have ▁the ▁authority ▁to ▁force ▁the ▁employ er ▁to ▁comp ly ▁with ▁these ▁recommend ations . ▁The ▁report ▁is ▁given ▁to ▁the ▁request or , ▁the ▁employ er , ▁employee ▁represent atives , ▁OS HA , ▁and ▁other ▁appropriate ▁ag encies ; ▁most ▁reports ▁are ▁posted ▁on ▁the ▁N IOS H ▁website . ▁ ▁Request s ▁N IOS H ▁recomm ends ▁request ing ▁an ▁H HE ▁if ▁employees ▁are ▁sick ▁and ▁the ▁cause ▁is ▁unknown ▁or ▁the ▁number ▁of ▁ill ness es ▁or ▁inj uries ▁is ▁higher ▁than ▁expected ▁in ▁a ▁group ▁of ▁employees . ▁Request s ▁should ▁also ▁be ▁made ▁when ▁employees ▁are ▁exposed ▁to ▁a ▁new ▁ha z ard
▁or ▁a ▁ha z ard ▁un reg ulated ▁by ▁OS HA ▁or ▁when ▁employees ▁are ▁experien cing ▁ill ▁health ▁when ▁their ▁expos ure ▁to ▁an ▁agent ▁is ▁below ▁the ▁occup ational ▁expos ure ▁limits . ▁If ▁multiple ▁ha z ard ous ▁agents ▁or ▁conditions ▁are ▁present ▁in ▁the ▁work place , ▁an ▁H HE ▁request ▁can ▁be ▁benef icial . ▁Common ▁ha z ards ▁evaluated ▁include ▁chemical s , ▁particul ates , ▁noise , ▁radiation , ▁bi ological ▁agents , ▁erg onom ics , ▁heat ▁stress , ▁and ▁occup ational ▁stress . ▁ ▁An ▁H HE ▁can ▁be ▁requested ▁by ▁current ▁employee ( s ) ▁of ▁the ▁work place , ▁a ▁management ▁official ▁on ▁beh alf ▁of ▁the ▁employ er , ▁or ▁a ▁labor ▁union ▁representing ▁employees ▁at ▁the ▁work place . ▁For ▁work p laces ▁with ▁more ▁than ▁three ▁employees , ▁an ▁employee ▁request ▁must ▁be ▁supported ▁by ▁the ▁sign atures ▁of ▁three ▁employees . ▁If ▁the ▁work place ▁has ▁three ▁or ▁fewer ▁employees , ▁only ▁one ▁employee ▁signature ▁is ▁required . ▁ ▁The ▁Occ up ational ▁Saf ety ▁and ▁Health ▁Act ▁gives ▁N IOS H ▁the ▁authority ▁to ▁conduct ▁H HE s ▁in ▁the ▁private ▁sector ▁and ▁federal ▁work p laces . ▁When ▁the ▁work place ▁is ▁part ▁of ▁a ▁state ▁or ▁local ▁government , ▁N IOS H ▁authority ▁is ▁more ▁limited ▁and ▁the ▁employ er ' s ▁co operation ▁may ▁be ▁necessary ▁before ▁N IOS H ▁can ▁do ▁an ▁evaluation . ▁ ▁H HE ▁process ▁ ▁N IOS H ▁typically
▁initially ▁contacts ▁the ▁request or ▁within ▁ 3 0 ▁days ▁to ▁discuss ▁the ▁request . ▁How ▁the ▁request ▁is ▁addressed ▁largely ▁depends ▁on ▁the ▁nature ▁of ▁the ▁request . ▁In ▁most ▁cases , ▁N IOS H ▁respond s ▁with ▁a ▁tele phone ▁consult ation ▁to ▁discuss ▁the ▁problems ▁and ▁how ▁to ▁correct ▁them . ▁For ▁other ▁requests , ▁N IOS H ▁vis its ▁the ▁work place ▁to ▁learn ▁more ▁about ▁the ▁health ▁ha z ards ▁present . ▁In ▁a ▁small ▁number ▁of ▁cases , ▁N IOS H ▁refers ▁the ▁request ▁to ▁a ▁more ▁appropriate ▁ag ency . ▁ ▁On - site ▁work place ▁evalu ations ▁are ▁coordin ated ▁with ▁the ▁employ er ; ▁N IOS H ▁does ▁not ▁usually ▁make ▁un ann ounced ▁vis its . ▁At ▁the ▁conclusion ▁of ▁an ▁initial ▁site ▁visit , ▁N IOS H ▁reports ▁its ▁pre lim inary ▁find ings ▁verb ally ▁to ▁the ▁employ er , ▁employees , ▁and ▁employee ▁represent atives ▁( such ▁as ▁labor ▁un ions ). ▁At ▁this ▁point ▁in ▁the ▁evaluation , ▁the ▁results ▁are ▁mostly ▁incomplete , ▁and ▁in ▁some ▁cases , ▁more ▁vis its ▁are ▁necessary . ▁Emp loy ees ▁who ▁particip ate ▁in ▁expos ure ▁or ▁health ▁testing ▁will ▁receive ▁their ▁personal ▁tests ▁results ▁if ▁they ▁choose ▁so . ▁After ▁results ▁are ▁completely ▁analyz ed , ▁N IOS H ▁comp iles ▁a ▁final ▁report . ▁The ▁report ▁contains ▁the ▁official ▁find ings ▁of ▁the ▁evaluation ▁and ▁recommend ations ▁on ▁how ▁to ▁address ▁health ▁ha z ards ▁found ▁or ▁to ▁improve
▁programs ▁for ▁protect ing ▁employee ▁health . ▁This ▁report ▁is ▁sent ▁to ▁the ▁employ er , ▁the ▁employee ▁representative , ▁OS HA , ▁and ▁other ▁ag encies . ▁The ▁employ er ▁must ▁post ▁this ▁report ▁in ▁the ▁work place ▁where ▁all ▁employees ▁can ▁view ▁it . ▁ ▁Employee ▁protection ▁Federal ▁laws ▁and ▁reg ulations ▁provide ▁some ▁protection ▁against ▁possible ▁disc rimin atory ▁actions ▁in ▁the ▁work place ▁for ▁employees ▁who ▁request ▁an ▁H HE ▁or ▁particip ate ▁in ▁an ▁evaluation . ▁If ▁an ▁employee ▁requests ▁it , ▁N IOS H ▁will ▁not ▁disc lose ▁their ▁name ▁to ▁the ▁employ er . ▁Additionally , ▁the ▁Occ up ational ▁Saf ety ▁and ▁Health ▁Act ▁and ▁the ▁Federal ▁Mine ▁Saf ety ▁and ▁Health ▁Act ▁prohib it ▁employ ers ▁from ▁pun ishing ▁employees ▁for ▁reporting ▁a ▁health ▁ha z ard ▁or ▁particip ating ▁in ▁N IOS H ▁investig ations . ▁ ▁Comple ted ▁reports ▁N IOS H ▁has ▁completed ▁over ▁ 3 , 0 0 0 ▁H HE ▁reports ▁detail ing ▁on - site ▁work place ▁evalu ations ▁in ▁all ▁ 5 0 ▁states . ▁The ▁reports ▁are ▁available ▁from ▁the ▁N IOS H ▁website ▁or ▁by ▁contact ing ▁the ▁H HE ▁program . ▁H HE ▁reports ▁can ▁be ▁searched ▁online . ▁ ▁H HE ▁program ▁impact ▁ ▁The ▁H HE ▁Program ▁conduct s ▁“ follow back ▁activities ” ▁to ▁learn ▁if ▁evaluated ▁work p laces ▁found ▁the ▁H HE ▁useful , ▁whether ▁employ ers ▁implemented ▁recommend ations , ▁and ▁to ▁determine ▁if ▁work p laces ▁need
▁additional ▁help . ▁Follow back ▁activities ▁can ▁include ▁surve ys , ▁conference ▁calls , ▁and ▁return ▁vis its . ▁Follow back ▁data ▁shows ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁respond ents ▁have ▁implemented ▁the ▁H HE ▁program ’ s ▁recommend ations , ▁think ▁the ▁evaluation ▁improved ▁the ▁health ▁and ▁safety ▁of ▁the ▁work place , ▁and ▁would ▁request ▁an ▁H HE ▁again . ▁ ▁Com parison ▁to ▁OS HA ▁ins pe ctions ▁and ▁the ▁OS HA ▁consult ation ▁program ▁ ▁Although ▁OS HA ▁inspect ors ▁and ▁H HE ▁program ▁staff ▁have ▁legal ▁authority ▁to ▁enter ▁work p laces , ▁there ▁are ▁important ▁differences ▁between ▁the ▁programs . ▁OS HA ▁is ▁a ▁regul atory ▁ag ency . ▁OS HA ▁ins pe ctions ▁focus ▁on ▁known ▁and ▁reg ulated ▁ha z ards , ▁and ▁inspect ors ▁can ▁issue ▁cit ations ▁and ▁fin es ▁for ▁non comp liance ▁with ▁safety ▁and ▁health ▁reg ulations . ▁N IOS H ▁is ▁a ▁research ▁ag ency . ▁Its ▁evalu ations ▁cover ▁known ▁or ▁un recogn ized ▁ha z ards . ▁The ▁H HE ▁program ▁does ▁not ▁issue ▁fin es ▁or ▁cit ations . ▁ ▁The ▁OS HA ▁on - site ▁consult ation ▁program ▁shares ▁some ▁features ▁with ▁the ▁H HE ▁program . ▁Both ▁programs ▁provide ▁services ▁at ▁no ▁cost ▁to ▁the ▁request ors ▁and ▁assess ▁occup ational ▁health ▁and ▁safety ▁issues . ▁Ne ither ▁program ▁issues ▁cit ations , ▁fin es , ▁or ▁pen alt ies . ▁However , ▁only ▁small ▁or ▁mid - s ized ▁business ▁own ers ▁can ▁request ▁an

▁of ▁York ' s ▁after ▁Ireland ▁declared ▁independence . ▁Today ▁the ▁Ch else a ▁site ▁is ▁home ▁to ▁the ▁Sa atch i ▁Gallery . ▁ ▁The ▁school ▁adopted ▁the ▁" Mad ras ▁system ▁of ▁education " ▁developed ▁by ▁Dr . ▁Andrew ▁Bell , ▁to ▁which ▁Joseph ▁Lanc aster ▁made ▁certain ▁improvements . ▁In ▁ 1 8 1 2 , ▁three ▁African ▁youth s ▁attended ▁the ▁school ▁as ▁teachers ▁for ▁several ▁months ▁thanks ▁to ▁the ▁inter vention ▁of ▁the ▁Duke ▁of ▁Gl ouc ester . ▁They ▁were ▁then ▁sent ▁by ▁the ▁African ▁Institution ▁to ▁Sierra ▁Le one , ▁where ▁they ▁were ▁employed ▁as ▁teachers ▁by ▁the ▁Secretary ▁of ▁State ▁for ▁War ▁and ▁the ▁Col on ies , ▁the ▁Earl ▁of ▁Liverpool . ▁ ▁Between ▁ 1 8 1 6 ▁and ▁ 1 8 4 0 , ▁the ▁As yl um ▁had ▁a ▁branch ▁in ▁South am pton ▁which ▁provided ▁school ing ▁for ▁up ▁to ▁ 4 0 0 ▁military ▁or ph ans ▁and ▁children ▁of ▁serving ▁soldiers ▁of ▁both ▁sex es ▁until ▁ 1 8 2 3 , ▁when ▁the ▁boys ▁were ▁transferred ▁to ▁Ch else a , ▁with ▁South am pton ▁taking ▁more ▁girls . ▁A ▁decl ine ▁in ▁the ▁school ▁numbers ▁resulted ▁in ▁its ▁closure ▁in ▁ 1 8 4 0 . ▁From ▁ 1 8 4 1 , ▁the ▁buildings ▁were ▁taken ▁over ▁by ▁the ▁Or dn ance ▁Survey . ▁ ▁One ▁of ▁the ▁more ▁notable ▁Command ants ▁of ▁the ▁Royal ▁Military ▁As yl um ▁was ▁Major ▁General ▁Peter ▁Brown .
▁A ▁veter an ▁of ▁the ▁Napole onic ▁Wars ▁Brown ▁was ▁unusual ▁in ▁that ▁he ▁was ▁promoted ▁whilst ▁in ▁post ▁( from ▁colon el ▁to ▁major ▁general ), ▁which ▁was ▁highly ▁unusual ▁given ▁the ▁post ▁was ▁not ▁an ▁active ▁command ▁and ▁his ▁prede cess ors ▁and ▁success ors ▁were ▁never ▁promoted ▁in ▁post . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 8 9 2 , ▁the ▁Royal ▁Military ▁As yl um ▁was ▁renamed ▁The ▁Duke ▁of ▁York ' s ▁Royal ▁Military ▁School ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁process ▁became ▁an ▁all - bo ys ▁school . ▁In ▁ 1 9 0 9 , ▁the ▁school ▁re located ▁to ▁new ▁prem ises ▁constructed ▁on ▁the ▁cl iffs ▁above ▁D over ▁in ▁Kent . ▁For ▁the ▁duration ▁of ▁World ▁War ▁I ▁( 1 9 1 4 – 1 9 1 8 ), ▁the ▁school ▁was ▁ev acu ated ▁to ▁H utton , ▁near ▁Br ent wood , ▁Es sex . ▁The ▁reason ▁for ▁the ▁ev acu ation ▁was ▁to ▁provide ▁the ▁military ▁authorities ▁with ▁a ▁trans it ▁point ▁in ▁D over ▁for ▁troops ▁moved ▁to ▁and ▁from ▁the ▁Western ▁Front . ▁In ▁ 1 9 4 0 ▁the ▁school ▁was ▁ev acu ated ▁to ▁the ▁Sa un ton ▁S ands ▁Hotel , ▁Braun ton , ▁North ▁Dev on , ▁returning ▁to ▁D over ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 6 . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 9 4 , ▁the ▁school ▁re - ad m itted ▁girls ▁and ▁returned ▁to ▁co - ed uc ation . ▁ ▁Academ ic ▁standards ▁Between ▁
