About Mussolini.

But on Tuesday , revealed a new fact about the history of Mussolini , the brief career as a British secret agent .
The files revealed that Mussolini began his political career in 1917 , mostly done with the help of a salary of 100 pounds per week . The money comes from the British intelligence agency , which is also known as MI5 .
For the UK , it is a profitable investment . Mussolini , who was then a 34 -year -old journalist , was not only willing to give certainty about Italy 's willingness to fight alongside the allies in World War I , by way of promotion in the news spread in the newspaper . He was also willing to send the boys to " persuade" peace protesters to stay and not leave the house .
Mussolini's payments were authorized by Sir Samuel Hoare , a British MP and MI5's man in Rome , which had staff at that time consisted of 100 British intelligence officers in Italy .
Cambridge historian Peter Martland , who revealed details of the agreement made with the former dictator , said : " At that time , an ally of Britain's least reliable in wars was Italy after revolutionary Russia's pullout from the conflict . Mussolini get paid 100 pounds per week, ranging from the fall of 1917 until at least one year, to keep alive the pro - war campaign. 100 pounds at the time equivalent to about 6,000 pounds at the present time .
Hoare , who later became Lord Templewood , mentioned the recruitment in memoirs released in 1954 , but Martland did not give details about the first payment to Mussolini .
In addition to keeping the presses rolling at Il Popolo in Italy , the name of the newspaper in which Mussolini worked as an editor , he also told Hoare he would send Italian army veterans to beat up peace protesters in Milan , a beginning of a unit fascist black shirts ( BlackShirt of) her .
"The last thing Britain wanted were bringing the factories in Milan to a halt which was held by pro- peace demonstrators . Paying a journalist at that time require substantial funds , but when compared to the £ 4m Britain to be incurred each the next in a war , then the amount of petty cash , " said Martland .
" I have no evidence for this, but I suspect , Mussolini , known as a womanizer , also spent a lot of money for the women . "
After the armistice , Mussolini began to pave his way to power , assisted by electoral fraud and violence committed line of black shirts , Mussolini founded the Italian Fascist dictatorship in the mid-1920s .
Colonial ambitions in Africa in 1935 making Mussolini re- establish contact with the " boss " ever. Hoare who was then serving as British foreign secretary , signed the Hoare -Laval pact , which gave Italy control over Abyssinia to .
" There is absolutely no reason to believe that the two men are friends , although Hoare did have a " love affair " with Italy , " said Martland , whose research is included in Christopher Andrew's history of MI5 paper , Defence of the Realm , and published last week .
The unpopularity of the Hoare - Laval pact in Inggrisn forced Hoare to resign . While Mussolini actually build colonial influence through the fabric of his new alliance with Hitler . Mussolini entered a phase of World War II , but this time he fought against allied forces ,
After the post- invasion ally ousted in Italy in 1943 , Mussolini was killed along with his mistress , Clara Petacci , by a group of Italian fighters when attempting to escape from the country towards Switzerland .
Martland said : "Mussolini ended life by hanging upside down in the city of Milan, but history does not favor Hoare , he was denounced as a supporter of fascism , along with ( former British prime minister ) Neville Chamberlain . "
