Which was the principal cause of the failure of the government of Benito Mussolini?

Answer 1

In the end Mussolini failed where he had believed himself most successful: he was not a modern statesman. His politics and culture had been formed before World War I, and they had remained rooted there. After that war, though land empire had become ossified and increasingly superfluous, Mussolini had embarked on territorial expansion in the grand manner. In a moment when the European nation-state had passed its apogee and entered decline (the economic depression had underscored it), Mussolini had pursued ultranationalism abroad and an iron state within. He had never grasped the lines of the new world already emerging. He had gone to war for more territory and greater influence when he needed new markets and more capital. Tied to a decaying world about to disappear forever, Mussolini was anachronistic, a man of the past, not the future. His Fascist slogan served as his own epitaph: Non si torna indietro (There is no turning back). A 19th-century statesman could not survive long in the 20th-century world, and history swept him brutally but rightly aside.

Answer 2

The fascist government of the dictator, Benito Almicare Andrea Mussolini, allied in 1940 with Hitler in WW2. After the invasion of Italy by the allies, Mussolini attempted to escape in German-controlled Austria, only to be captured and shot near lake Como by Communist Resistance units.

Answer 3

The principal cause of the Failures of the Mussonlini government?
Would that not depend upon which actual failure you refer to?
In terms of the conduct of War - lack of training and resources
Economically - territorial focus as opposed to world market focused
Politically - he was never able to generate any strong backing from the population en masse. So unlike hitler his people were not willing to die for the nationalist ideals he stood for.

So yeh... which failure?

I would say broadly speaking - the Facist government of Italy failured simply because it expanded too quickly to be able to maintain its security at home - much like the Roman Empire had... history has a strange way of repeating on us doesnt it?
