AI notes: In 1938, Adolf Hitler visited Rome to meet Benito Mussolini, reinforcing the growing alliance between Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy as they prepared to reshape Europe’s political landscape. The meeting took place amid grand displays of fascist pageantry, with Mussolini showcasing his regime’s strength and unity. Both leaders discussed their shared interests in territorial expansion, the suppression of communism, and strengthening their authoritarian regimes. This encounter also foreshadowed the harsher racial policies soon to be implemented, as Mussolini’s Italy began adopting anti-Semitic laws under Nazi influence. Their alliance marked a dangerous step toward the outbreak of World War II, symbolizing the tightening bond of the Axis powers.
