CLEP Western Civ II

Answer: D - Italy was the one European nation to be less democratic after the war than before. Most European nations gave the vote to all men and women (with the exception of France, which did not enfranchise women), and even the Soviet Union increased the right to vote (albeit while restricting the candidates available to vote for). However, in Italy, Benito Mussolini disbanded the parliament when he took over in 1922 and created a dictatorship.
