The strikes and the civil disturbances after the end of WW1 were not so excessive: it was more the difficulty of reintegrating millions of soldiers to civilian life after 4 years of war than anything else (the blindness ahd greed of the industrialists and the big land owners contributed too). IMHO, there is no chance to go toward a civil war, even without Mussolini taking power.Fearless Leader said:What about the socialists and communists? Is there any chance of a communist Italy? IIRC they were pretty influential. Could we possibly see an Italian civil war along the lines of the Spanish Civil War?
The monarchy is strong, and supported by the army. The church is also quite strong. The main portion of the left belongs to the Socialist party, which is looking for economic and welfare improvements for labor, but is not interested in a revolution and acts within the parliamentarian system.
