Before he was "II Duce"

Mussolini had a pretty bad life. I mean as a child he was really rebellious. In grade school he stabbed a kid and he was also a bully. I think this is an early sign of him being a ruler when he grows up? Benito was constantly in jail. Benito was a really lady's man. He always had girls with him. He moved out of Italy to live in Switzerland so he can avoid military services. As he was in Switzerland he became a journalist. In his articles he supported the socialist party. He insisted to stay out of the war. As time passed he then realized that Italy should stay in the war. The Italian government was really weak and could be overthrown easily. The parliament quit. And this was a perfect chance for Benito to step in and take power. He became the 40th Prime Minister of Italy. This is how his legacy started...
