Regardless of its simplicity, Mussolini's Italy who crave the glory as ruler of the world, began to make his first attack to conquer Ethiopia on 3 October 1935. The success of this attack made him unaware that he didn’t know that his government was hit by fraud, corruption, and manipulation. Mussolini chose to focus to pursue his dream of becoming the ruler of the world. Even, Mussolini continued to give financial assistance to a group of Spanish rebels who want to establish a fascist model of government, although the price of it’s action, was the Italian economic downturn.
While Mussolini still continued to fight. State economic circumstances were destroyed and in totally messy. Poverty was rampant, while Mussolini kept trying to take over the world. But his pace began out of strength. His power was no longer big enough to conquer even a single country. Wars that Mussolini brought, just defeat Italy. Chaotic conditions abroad, and domestic conditions were also increasingly chaotic. Love of the people at Mussolini reversed in hatred. The dissatisfaction of the people in the leadership of this power-hungry dictator began to mount. Conspiracy overthrow of Mussolini was launched.
July 24, 1943, a meeting was held to discredit the attitude of Mussolini. Mussolini was forced to put his position in front of the King the next day. This was the end of the triumph of Mussolini. Leadership initially hailed from various corners, now it scorned. Mussolini demotion even celebrated everywhere. People who have tired of the dictator leader were cheered. There's nothing more that provide support or even revere his name. "Duce" had been lost.
After losing his powers, Mussolini became a runaway and captured in many places. Mussolini even had been a puppet of Hitler Republic Sallo before finally escaped on 23 April 1945 until captured in Germany. A few days after being captured, acquisition committee envoy freed him from Germany, along with his lover Claretta. In a turn, the car that brought Mussolini stopped. Colonel Valerio who had freed him, cornered him in the wall. With a loud satisfied voice and said to Mussolini "By order of the Voluntary Corps for independence, I was sent to administer justice in the name of the people".
At 4:10 the sound of gunfire erupted and echoed in the mountains as much as two times. The next morning, the two corpses were lying in front of the garage Piazzale Loretto in Milan. Yes! it was the bodies of Mussolini and Clareta. Instead snapped death of their former leader, people actually cursed, mocked, spit on, and even shot again this two people that had become a corpse. His body was not taken care of, but it was hung upside down for a day. Until finally, these corpses were buried in the family cemetery in Predapio the next day.

When arrested, two years before his death, the Mussolini once said
"THIS is my fate: FROM DUST RULES, GO BACK TO DUST".
This was an incredible story of a mischievous little boy's dream to become the ruler of Italy, until finally getting his dream to master Italian. He once brought glory to his people. Make all the people of Italy enjoy welfare. Until before tarnishing his power. Until the end of his life, street hold him again in derision. Like a meaningless grain of dust.
