Growth of support for facism was a reason for Mussolinis appointment as Prime Minister,however there were many other reasons for Mussolinis appointment as PM, but growth of support was very important for him. The war and the mutilated victory, had an affect on Mussolinis appointment as PM. The main reason wad that the nationalists were bitterly disappointed that italy didn’t make any gains during the war. The nationalists claimed that Italy had been betrayed by the Liberal government, this shows that the nationalists might have wanted to overthrow the Liberal government and therefore supported Mussolini before he was appointed. This links into the title point that Mussolini had a wide support base and that it was growing.
Although, she does admit even she was shocked when listening to the speech, as she explains “the line was not believable”. From this I can conclude that source one doesn’t wholly hold Churchill responsible for the 1945 election defeat, however the reliability of the source is questionable as it is bias towards the conservative party. Source two, an extract from Lord Butler’s memoirs, clearly shows opposition to not only Churchill but also the conservative party, Lord Butler for example describes Churchill’s speech as a “negative attack on the labour party” and believed that he should have instead focused on “post-war policies”. By describing Churchill’s use of the word “Gestapo” as a “strategic blunder” shows that Butler is blaming Churchill in having played a role in the defeat of the 1945 election. Although both members of the conservative party, Butler and Churchill were political enemies, this is evident when looking at the extract: “a poor third place to the concentrated exploitation of Churchill’s personality” – this is a personal attack on Churchill’s actions.
However, there were many people that were critical of Wolsey and believed he was arrogant. Overall I think sources 2 and 3 agree fairly strongly with source 1’s opinion of Wolsey. Source 1 talks about how Wolsey considered himself equal to king’s, showcasing his arrogance, backed up by when it says he was hostile to nobles and the public suggesting he thought he was above them. It then went on to talk about how he was hated by all people showing his unpopularity. However this source was written by Polydore Vergil, an Italian humanist who came to England and wrote the History of England, his analysis of Wolsey wasn’t very good as they’d had a personal feud due to Wolsey being jealous and Vergil spent a brief period in prison.

Garibaldi was very much a reactionist rather than a clever politician; he relied on brute force and did not plan his actions very efficiently, but this did not make him a bad leader, his strategy in most cases was to deny the enemy a moment’s pause, and this enemy was a common enemy of many of the inhabitants of the Italian peninsula, Austria. Throughout the 19th Century Austria had been inhibiting the reality of a unified Italy as they quelled revolutions and halted protests with strength and political dominance throughout Europe. After a very strong campaign throughout the south of Sicily he moved up through Calabria and on the 7th of September 1860, he entered Naples which was the peninsulas largest city, he then proclaimed himself “Dictator of the Two Sicilies”. At first, Garibaldi was sympathetic to the aims of the
Mao criticised Khrushchev for his policies such as de-Stalinisation and his secret speech. He was also very critical of the policy of Peaceful Coexistence as he believed it was a way of being friendly with the United States (the enemy) and also Mao saw it abandoning millions of comrades struggling to free themselves of capitalist and imperialist oppression. This, therefore, made the USSR an ‘enemy’. How could two countries work together if they had such differing beliefs about how to run their countries? This problem had a big contribution to the split as they couldn’t agree on anything, and if they did, it was because their national interests were at risk.
America, Great Britain and the USSR have been working together as members of the Grand Alliance as an attempt to defeat Nazi Germany. Although they were working together, their relationships weren’t always friendly and there was many disagreements which is part of the reason the Grand Alliance broke down. America and Great Britain were Capitalists countries where as the USSR was a Communist country so there was disputes between all of the superpowers. The USA is to blame for the breakdown of the Grand Alliance for many reasons. After Roosevelt died Truman became the American president.
Karl Marx, a pioneering proponent of the conflict viewpoint, believed that social class has an effect on many aspects of life including mate selection (pluralism) and place of residence (Giddens, 1971:130). The social boundaries that Italian-Americans encountered were perpetuated by conflict between the dominant group and Italian immigrants. Being generally poor, Italian immigrants settled into Italian immigrant neighborhoods, and due to pluralism as a result of overall discrimination, they generally married within their own ethnicity. Assimilation of Italian immigrants was indeed not welcomed thought among the dominant group, and conflict theorists would agree that the power held by the dominant group, as far as money, holdings, held public positions, and length of residence in America placed a barrier around Italian immigrants making assimilation a difficult
It is important to note that Mussolini also advocated ideas of anti-egalitarianism and elitism, making him a very peculiar socialist. He was tied up in underground financial deals which may have changed certain of his political conceptions. When WWI broke out Mussolini first opposed the war but soon realized it was an opportunity (to overthrow the Hapsburg Hohenzollern families, whom he saw as imperialist and anti-socialist. He also saw WWI as an opportunity) for the working classes to rise up and participate in the Italian
Q: Do you agree with the view that "Cavour hindered the process of Italian unification." Explain your answer.
