Mussolini did not invent fascism. It has existed for thousands of years.

Mussolini

Fascism reappeared in Europe after World War I when many people yearned for national unity and strong leadership.

In Italy, Benito Mussolini used his great charisma to establish a powerfulfasciststate. Benito Mussolini coined tbe term "fascism" in 1919 to describe his political movement. Fascism had already existed for several thousand years, but afasciststate was usually called a republic, and not every type of republic could be called fascism.

Coining

So Mussolini invented tbe term. He coined it. He adopted tbe ancient Roman fasces as its symbol, because ancient Rome was tbe best example offascismin history. The fasces, throught history, even before tbe Roman Empire, was always a symbol of how powerful a society can be when its people work together toward a single purpose. Rome was great, and Mussolini hoped to return Italy to that greatness.
