Machiavelli lived during troubled years for Italy (there was no "Italy" at the time though). Small battling countries, conquered usually by Spain and France, no unity, no common goals.
Basically, he wanted a strong leader that could unite the divided and bring better future. This goal was so high for him that he allowed any means.

The Ends Justify the Means. He wrote a book called The Prince, about this belief.
