It’s newly discovered that Mossolini was paid by British to write pro-war campain articles as a British Spy before he became Italian autocrat and later became an ally of Hitler. The pay packet was 100 pounds a week, equally 6,000 pounds in today money. The hire of Mossolini was under a background that the Revolution took place and succeeded in Russia, and in response to the situation, the British was afraid the revolution would spread to its own country, so it wanted to use the Italia as a safety barriar.

Sometimes, uncovery of history amazes us a lot, doesn’t it :)
