Benito Mussolini was born on July 29, 1883.  Mussolini was the premier-dictator of Italy.  Italy had many defeats during World War II so the King dismissed him in 1943.  The Germans rescued Benito and made him a brutal puppet.  While trying to escape to Switzerland he was caught by Italians and shot.  Very few Italians, regretted the death of Benito Mussolini.  Mussolini died on April 28, 1945.
