The National Blocs (Italian: Blocchi Nazionali ) was a right-wing coalition of political parties in Italy formed for the 1921 general election.[1]
History
The National Blocs incorporated the electoral list of the Liberal former Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti, the Italian Fasci of Combat led by Benito Mussolini, the Italian Nationalist Association led by Enrico Corradini, and other right-wing forces.
The list obtained 19.1% of votes and a total of 105 MPs, including 35 fascists (including Mussolini) and 20 MPs for the Italian Nationalist Association. Almost all of the MPs supported the Mussolini government, which took office 31 October 1922, after the March on Rome. In 1924, the National Blocs were succeeded by Mussolini’s National List.
