Establishing the Fascist Regime: The Rise to Power (use in quiz format)

For the AQA course: "A New Roman Empire? Mussolini's Italy, 1922-1945. Focuses on the Rise to Power section. For some reason my quizzes change to flashcards when you first view them, which they are not generally good for. They are best used in the multiple choice quiz format.
