Because Mussolini lowered unemployment and improved the national economy.
At first, he seems to be doing okay because he created many Extravagant infrastructures for the people in italy.
But, he did that by acquiring many Debts for the government. When he took office, italy has 95 billion lire in debt. After he's done, italy has 405, billion lire of national debt
