How did mussolini manage to assume dictatorial powers?

Mussolini, as the other leaders that became dictators during this period, was promising the people certain things to convince them to have him elected, and he managed to get to office, but after he did, he quickly changed his rhetoric. Once Mussolini had the power in his hands, he showed his real face. In order to assure his position on the long run, he started persecuting, imprisoning, and eliminating the people he saw as threat to his power. He employed the military and police forces in order to control everything in the country and to use the fear factor in his advantage, quickly taking control over the whole country and establishing himself as the only authority in it.

the conditions that made the byzantine empire vulnerable to attacks by the muslin turks were the sack of constantinople by western crusaders, the conquests of the sultanate of rum, presence of rival kingdoms and finally the set up of fiefdoms at the empire which were owned by the ghazis (turkish warriors).

wait history, who want to talk about history, boring.
