History
Fascist Period (1922-1943)
See main article: Kingdom of Italy (1922-1943)
During most of the Interwar period and World War two, Italy was ruled by a Fascist regime, under which, the economy declined, many ethnic groups, particularly in Italian colonies such as Libya, saw heavly repression, and some of the first mass-privatisations occurred.
Early Cold War Period
In 1948, the communist Palmiro Togliatti ran in the Italian general election. The CIA rigged the election and spread capitalist propaganda,[1] causing Togliatti to lose to the Christian Democracy Party.
