In 1922, Mussolini organized the "March on Rome," an event that played a crucial role in his rise to power in Italy. The march involved tens of thousands of Fascist supporters who marched from various parts of Italy to the capital city, Rome, demanding that Mussolini be appointed as the Prime Minister. The march put pressure on the Italian government, which eventually gave in to the demands and appointed Mussolini as the Prime Minister, marking the beginning of his dictatorship.
