<description>&lt;div&gt;Hi friends, happy Wednesday!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I’m very interested in dictators. I read so much about Stalin last year. We even did a two parter on him, wild guy. Today’s main character has a LOT in common with Stalin… He was besties with Hitler. And he survived not one, not two, not three, but FOUR assassination attempts. On top of that, after he survived, he tried to *cancel christmas.* Today, we’re talking about… BENITO MUSSOLINI. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; He’s responsible for the deaths of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people.  But what made him so powerful and why did so many people support him? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Well, those are the questions I wanted to know the answers to, so let's learn about Benito Mussolini in today's episode of Dark History. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Want some cool Bailey Merch?&lt;br&gt; Shop Dark History Merch: &lt;a href="https://www.baileysarian.com"&gt;https://www.baileysarian.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in show.
