In 1936, two dictators, Mussolini and Hitler, formed a deadly alliance that led to the deaths of over 35 million Europeans. Their regimes thrived on the aftermath of World War I, which left many nations economically devastated and politically unstable. Both leaders capitalized on national frustrations, with Mussolini establishing fascism in Italy and Hitler rising to power in Germany. Despite their ideological differences, both regimes shared a deep hatred for democracy and communism, and sought to dominate Europe. Mussolini aimed to recreate the Roman Empire, while Hitler envisioned a Nazi order that included the extermination of Jews and the subjugation of Slavic peoples. Their collaboration ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War II, marking a dark chapter in European history.
