Following factors led to rise of fascism in Italy :-

1. Soaring unemployment

2. Rising price of articles of daily use.

3. The people were fed up with the various political

factions in Italy who were incessantly fighting amongst each

other for their vested interests rather than providing

stability to the nation through a mature and responsible

leadership.

These 3 factors along with feelings of nationalism and

injustice done to Italy during World War I vis-a-vis denying

her share in territorial possessions (Treaty of Versailles

clause) paved the path for rise of fascism in Italy.

Mussolini's dictatorial ideology provided a rallying point

for the people who gave their full-fledged support ot him

and threw their weight behind the fascist party.

All these factors helped Mussolini to effectively emerge as

the sole powerful party in Italy. After coming to power, he

systematically eliminated all those people/parties who

opposed his views/ideas.

It needs to be noted that the rise of fascists in Italy was

similar to that of Nazis in Germany as in both countries,

the socio-politico-economic situation was same and the Nazis

and Fascists exploited these conditions to their favour and

rose to power.
