Mussolini
Fascism reappeared in Europe after The Great War when many people yearned for national unity and strong leadership.
In Italy, Benito Mussolini used his great charisma to establish a powerful fascist state. Benito Mussolini coined the term "fascism" in 1919 to describe his political movement. Fascism had already existed for several thousand years, but a fascist state was usually called a republic, and not every type of republic could be called fascism.
