In the dawn of the 21st century, the advanced countries of the modern world have united around a single political system - democracy. However, it has not always been that way, and democracy was much opposed even in the recent past. A bright example of this struggle is the period that followed World War I. There were no real victors because the war inflicted serious damage not only to most European economies but to the people's belief in democracy. Thus in some countries the parties that opposed democracy were able to use the advantage and gain power. The disappointed post World War I society and the ruined economy combined with Mussolini's effective tactics and propaganda were the reasons behind the success of fascism in Italy.
