National Fascist Party

Haile Selassie, who wrote Appeal to the League of Nations, was the emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. Both Ethiopia and Italy were members of the League of Nations. Italy was the founding member in 1920, and then Ethiopia joined in 1923. Benito Mussolini was an Italian politician, the leader of the National Fascist Party, and he ruled Italy as the Prime Minister from 1922 until 1943. Haile Selassie wrote Appeal to the League of Nations to get justice for his people and his country, making him a strong emperor showing that he cares. Moussolini wanted an empire that would connect everything and he wanted to run the Roman Empire. Moussolini started threatening Ethiopia. In 1930 the Wal-Wal incident happened given the occupation of Walwal to Italy, then then in 1934, Mussolini claimed that Italy had been wrong. Ethiopia appealed to the League of Nations for arbitration, however the response they received was not in their favor. In 1935, “Italian aircraft hurled upon my armies bombs of tear-gas. Their…

policies implemented after the sanctions ultimately made Italy less reliant on imports and gave Mussolini a license to push harder for autarky. Italy was ultimately successful in the war an annexed Ethiopia in 1939. Whether or not Italy would have been able to withstand the sanctions without these policies in place is difficult to answer but the fact is that Italy had already taken an increasingly protectionist stance and as such was able to resist foreign pressures. This inquiry has sought to…

return Italy to greatness after their defeat in WW1. Thus suggesting Mussolini came to power by default, as the country was in a weak and vulnerable position after the debacle of WW1, and not by his own strengths. Benito Mussolini was an Italian journalist, politician, and leader of the Facist party in which he founded in the March of 1919. The right-wing organisation supported nationalism, wore black t-shirts for their uniform and initiated a program of unrest and intimidation against its…

unstable Italian peninsula” (Stone 63). In this document, Moffat considers the fact that Italy will not prosper should Mussolini die. Moffat was writing to Mussolini’s international reception. Moffat shows truth when explaining that the detrimental state of Italy did not just stop when Cavour died. He analyzes that Italy is all one nation and in order to rise up they must “revivify the spirit of it sufficiently to avoid internal strife” (Stone 64). I believe this document is more truthful then…

Oppression as Explained in Animal Farm "The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed” –Steven Biko (Oppression Quotes). Oppression is the “cruel and unfair treatment of people, especially by not giving them the same freedom, rights, etc. as other people” (Oxford). One of the most renowned literary works pertaining to oppression is Animal Farm by George Orwell. Animal Farm allegorizes the events of the Russian Revolution and Stalin era. Using this source one…

The British Union of Fascists, or alternatively the BUF, was a far-right political party active in Britain from its formation in 1932 until it was proscribed by the British government in 1940. It was founded by Sir Oswald Mosley, who became convinced of fascism after he visited Mussolini’s Italy. In truth, the party, while enjoying some moderate success, ended up as a failure. Stanley Payne described it as a ‘political oxymoron’, being developed in a nation where ‘there was neither space nor…

In 2015 over 2,800 children in Scotland were found to be needing protection from some form of abuse. The named person scheme aims to prevent this. The Scottish government says that a named person will be someone who will be there for parents and their children when they need help and do not know where to go. A named person will usually be a health visitor for a pre-school child and a head teacher or guidance teacher for a child of school age. The scheme was created with the aim of overseeing…

Scottish National Party (SNP), originally a relatively unimportant minor party pursuing the dream of independence for Scotland, which has changed Scottish and British politics forever. This has been a prominent issue challenging journalists, researchers, political commentators and certainly other major parties for the last decade or so, provoking a seemingly simple though entirely complex and certainly disputed question – why is it that people vote for the SNP? Forming in 1934 and seeing very…

This is ensured through FMQT. The FM's decisions can be question and even ridiculed by other parties in FM's Question Time. First Minister's Questions Time is held every Thursday at noon or by submitting a written question. First Minister's Question Time is mostly dominated by the leaders of Labour, Conservatives and the Liberal Democrat parties and therefore very few backbench MSP's get the opportunity to ask the First Minister a question. However now that Nicola Sturgeon has increased the…

My passion for politics started when I was 12 years old, after I started noticing things on television concerning Scottish Independence. I saw the independence referendum as a chance for me to speak out about how I wanted my future to be, regardless of whether I would get to vote or not (which obviously, I wouldn’t). What I did not know though, is that just researching about Scottish and British Politics would cause me to branch out to other countries politics and become more aware social and…
