                          1. Socialism was a threat to landowners and richer farmers

                                        2. Was Fascism a strong contender in 1922?
                                          1. had 500,000 members by 1922 and unofficially controlled some areas of Italy
                                            1. Successive Liberal governments had allowed Fascism to grow - too afraid to fight it
                                              1. July 1922 - looked as though Socialists, Liberals and Catholics would join together to form and anti-Fascist government
                                                1. Giolitti withdrew his support
                                                  1. Anti-Fascist alliances failed
                                                2. 1920 - Socialists are facing a decline in power - damaged by Fascist attacks and growing unemployment decreased their popularity
                                                  1. A decline in socialism could have killed off Fascism - Fascists had to exaggerate Socialist threat to survive
                                                    1. August 1922 Socialists try to strike but it collapses after 2 days - Fascists still took credit for crushing it
                                                    2. 1922 - Still disagreements regarding how to take power - the Ras (squadristi) leaders wanted to seize it by force but Mussolini wanted to gain power legally
