Answer:

Benito Mussolini was an Italian political leader who became the fascist dictator of Italy from 1925 to 1945.

Originally a revolutionary socialist, he forged the paramilitary fascist movement in 1919 and became prime minister in 1922.

A border incident between Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland that December gave Benito Mussolini an excuse to intervene.

Rejecting all arbitration offers, the Italians invaded Ethiopia on October 3, 1935..

I hope it helps...
