By the 1930s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini reached the conclusion that Italy faced a clear choice: expand its power at the expense of the British and French Empires or face stagnation and decline. Strang asserts that Mussolini's expansionist, social-Darwinist mentalite drove him to align Italy with Nazi Germany to challenge Britain and France for supremacy in the Mediterranean.
