The decline of consensus (1937-1943)

The purpose of the consensus that Mussolini enjoyed is undermined in the mid-thirties by the foreign policy, influenced by his relationship with Hitler. This adds two wars in Ethiopia and Spain, but the Italian people does not like to fight. In 1938 the racial laws are enacted that affect negatively the public opinion. In September 1939 Hitler attacks Poland beginning World War II, and Mussolini leads the country into a huge disaster.
