The word "fascism" is derived from the italian word fascio
which means a bundle of axe. During ancient roman period,
the bundle of axes was used as a signia/symbol of the might
and glory of the royal dynasty in power thereby reflecting
the ideas of unity, strength and greatness.
These three things were severly missing in the political
scenario of Italy between the two world wars and the people
desperately wanted a government that could restore unity of
Italy through a strong and stablegovernment. This is
precisely why, Mussolini chose fascist as the name of his
party and got overwhelming support from the masses.
