DTN News - WHEN GREAT DICTATORS FALL: Benito Mussolini, Italy
(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 23, 2011: Sworn in as the 40th prime minister of Italy in 1922, Benito Mussolini took a little more than a decade to assume the title of "His Excellency Benito Mussolini, Head of Government, Duce of Fascism, and Founder of the Empire". His ideology of Fascism envisioned social progress with subversion, censorship and propaganda through the establishment of a draconian police state. During World War II, Mussolini initially sided with France but then quickly turned about and joined forces with Hitler’s Nazis, embarking on an ambitious plan to acquire territories in France and Britain. During the war, his fief eventually fell to the Allied Forces. He was captured but staged a dramatic escape from prison with German help. While attempting to escape into the neutral state of Switzerland in April 1945, he and his mistress Claretta Petacci were captured and executed. Their bodies were hung upside down before a garage in Milan's Piazzale Loreto on April 29, 1945.
“As you sow, so you reap,” the Book says. They lived life large but came to ignominious and wretched ends. Here’s a look at the world’s greatest dictators of the 20th and 21st centuries.
This series on WORLD DICTATORS have been inspired by the latest episode of Libya's strong man / dictator Muammar Gaddafi ends/dies in such a horrible fashion, but it was his Karmas, he could have avoided this horric incident to occur by stepping down like Egypt's ex-President Mubarak. But Gaddafi thougt he was invisible and ending up like a rat in a drainage system as he was calling his opposition Libyan - rats. It shows, one must be careful accusing others as there is a saying "if you accuse or point a finger on other entity, the rest three fingers point back at you". The moral of this note in general is "RESPECT OTHERS and BE RESPECTED".
Most of the dictators (to follow up) during the 21st century would end the chapter of their life in similar circumstances alike Muammar Gaddafi, as they are unable to accept the changes with time and reality of life.
