<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mussolini gained a reputation for bullying and fighting during his childhood. At age 10 he was expelled from a religious boarding school for stabbing a classmate in the hand, and another stabbing incident took place at his next school. He also admitted to knifing a girlfriend in the arm. Meanwhile, he purportedly pinched people at church to make them cry, led gangs of boys on raids of local farmsteads and eventually became adept at dueling with swords, and was later a fencing champion. When the New York Times reported on Mussolini’s May 1922 duel against a rival newspaper editor, it mentioned that he bore over 100 wounds received in battle. He also got in knife fights with other students as a boy. </span></p>

He had his opposers exiled and even exercuted. He also held conflicting veiws on racism, he was racist against Slavs and the Africans, however he also publically said "Race is a feeling, not a reality. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today." When he became the leader of Italy he said that a small group of Jews have been in Italy since the days of the Roman Empire and "should remain undisturbed."  Never the less he introduced the "Manefesto of Race" which stripped the Jews of there Itlian citizenship (despite multiple members of his own facist party being Jewish) and prevented them from working in 1938, mostly due to the infulence from Hitler and used his private militia (or Blackshirts) to police his country and enforce this ruling in areas that resisted. </span></p>
