The correct answer is: Spain.
Benito Mussolini was an Italian politician who created the first fascist dictatorship from which he collaborated during the Spanish Civil War.
Shortly before the military revolution of July 18, Benito Mussolini had already offered his collaboration to a representation of Spanish monarchists to organize a possible anti-republican uprising.
He was looking for an ally to expand fascism in the Mediterranean and thus achieve his dream, the recreation of a new Roman Empire.
