Short answer - They were both democratically elected though neither one had popular support (more than 50% votes).

Hitler was elected in the late 20s but there were 28 or so political parties in Germany at the time. In the mid-thirties, the election lead to a minority government and through some wheeling and dealing - Hitler was made Chancellor and that gave him emergency powers (Which he then used to disband the parliment.)

Similarily, Mussolini was elected in the early 20s and later was asked to form a government by the king in order to stop a civil war between the Facists and the Socialists.

The sad fact is that Hitler was actually elected to office. Mussolini basically was appointed by the king of Italy.

Do a Yahoo Search or Google on Hitler and Mussolini during WWII!! That might help.

Look up

The Nazi Party, officially known as the National Socialist German Workers' Party

and

The Italian Social Republic (Repubblica Sociale Italiana, RSI) was the provisional state, led by Benito Mussolini,

Hitler came to power from the bottom, he was since very young involved in political parties. I won't ask you to read Mein Kampf cause it's LONG and kinda confusing, full of politikish stuff, but maybe somewhere in the net you can find something about it. About mussolini, i don;t know

All the world was in a slump because of the depression. Germany needed a leader and Hitler told them what they wanted to hear. They gave him the power.....He gained alot of control in a short amount of time. He was in the German army which could have helped a little but to a surprise, he isn't German by blood :) !

He joined the German army because he totally liked Germany better than his own native country. (forgot what country he was actually from)

Sorry, I haven't studied this particular subject in a while so that might be a bit off. Hope that was brief enough.

I wonder in the future will people speak of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and George Bush in the same breath?

Hitler used the SA to get in good with the SS, then killed and betrayed the SA on the night of long knives. Saving the people from a BS "coup" by the homosexual SA movement allowed Hitler to win the will of the people, and to merge the powers of prime minister and chancelor into one position less than a year later.

Mussolini made the trains run on time.

Hitler revitalized a crippled German financial equipment. He have been given inflation and unemployment below administration. He made the German human beings proud to be German back. He began the form of the Autobahn and alter into the only that proposed the assumption of the VolksWagen. Now, in all fairness he did not do this on my own, he had sensible human beings in the main appropriate jobs early on. additionally, his motivation substitute into to create a greater robust gadget for conquest. yet while he had died in a motor vehicle crash or something in 1937 or '38 he might probable be respected as considered one of Germany's incredible leaders. yet he did not, instead he went directly to instigate a number of human historic previous's maximum heinous acts. Mussolini substitute into not as effective as Hitler, yet he did lots the same issues early on. He substitute into rebuilding the Italian financial equipment and convalescing infrastructure. yet finally he substitute into various years at the back of Germany and alter into not waiting for the wars that Hitler had planned.
