Kingdom of Italy (Until 1943)

King Victor Emmanuel III.

Prime Minister Benito Mussolini.

• Victor Emmanuel III was the king of Italy from 1900 until his abdication in 1946. During his rule Italy was suffering from economic depression because of the Great War. He supported the Fascist government until 1943 when they had him removed from office. Technically as King he was the supreme commander of the Italian army and navy, but he was a figurehead leader and delegated his powers to Mussolini who delegated those powers to ministers. In 1943, with Italian dissatisfaction with the war and the embarassment Italy's failed war effort, Emmanuel III used his powers as King to remove Mussolini from office and dissolve the Fascist regime, and brought Italy into war on the side of the Allies against Germany.

• Benito Mussolini was Prime Minister from 1922 until 1943 commonly called Duce ("Leader") by his Fascist supporters. Mussolini was the de facto dictator of Italy during that period, as King Emmanuel III delegated his powers to Mussolini and opposition to Mussolini and the Fascist state was seen as treason. Mussolini was the official head of the Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale, MVSN ("Volunteer Militia for National Security"), often called the "Blackshirts", who were Fascist partisans loyal specifically to him, rather than the King. Mussolini was later Head of State of the Italian Social Republic (regime under control of Nazi Germany), that succeeded the Kingdom of Italy in the Axis between 1943 and 1945. Mussolini was the founder of fascism and made Italy the first fascist state using the ideas of nationalism, militarism and anti-communism combined and state propaganda. Mussolini’s regime was an influence on Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.

• Ugo Cavallero was the head of the Italian Royal Army during the Second World War, his powers being delegated to him from the King, who was the official supreme commander of the Italian Royal Army. He led Italian forces during the Greco-Italian War in which Italian forces faltered badly.

• Arturo Riccardi commanded the Italian Royal Navy (Regia Marina) from 1940 to 1943, his powers being delegated to him from the King, who was the official supreme commander of the Italian Royal Navy.

• Galeazzo Ciano was appointed minister of foreign affairs in 1936 by Mussolini (who was his father-in-law) and remained in that position until the end of the Fascist regime in 1943. Ciano signed the Pact of Steel with Germany in 1939 and subsequently the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Japan in 1940. Ciano attempted to convince Mussolini to bring Italy out of the war as casualties mounted but was ignored. In 1943, Ciano supported the ousting of Mussolini as Prime Minister. Ciano was later executed by Fascists in the Italian Social Republic for betraying Mussolini.

• Roberto Farinacci was the minister in charge of Italian culture during the Second World War. Unlike other Italian Fascists, Farinacci was an avid anti-Semite and eagerly adapted anti-Semitic policies for Italy and endorsed the creation of concentration camps and deportation of Jews. He remained loyal to the Fascist cause even after the Fascist regime was removed from power, and the Nazis considered making him head of a new fascist puppet state, but Mussolini was finally made the head of that state (the Italian Social Republic) after Mussolini was freed from imprisonment.

• Rodolfo Graziani was the governor of Libya during World War II and commander of the Tenth Army, stationed in Libya. He became commander after the death of Italo Balbo killed in a friendly fire incident on June 28, 1940. Graziani was ordered to invade Egypt by Mussolini. Graziani expressed doubts about the ability of his largely un-mechanized force could defeat the British, however, he followed orders and the Tenth Army attacked on September 13. He resigned his commission in 1941 after being defeated by the British in Operation Compass. He was the only one of the Italian marshals to remain loyal to Mussolini after Dino Grandi's Grand Council of Fascism coup, and was appointed Minister of Defence of the Italian Social Republic. Graziani also commanded the mixed Italo-German LXXXXVII "Liguria" Army (Armee Ligurien).

• Giovanni Messe was the commander of the Italian expeditionary force on the Eastern Front, fighting with German forces against the Soviet Union.

• Pietro Badoglio was Marshal of the army. He lead the Italian army during the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. He resigned in 1940 after the Italian defeat during the Greco-Italian War. In 1943 he succeeded Mussolini as Prime Minister and arranged with the Allies an armistice
