This study details how in December 1929 Mussolini disbanded the Fascist League of North America. Thereafter, the period 1930–1940 saw a constant deterioration of the myth of Mussolini in the United States. G. E. Modigliani’s visit to the United States, the anti Fascist opposition of L. Antonini and S. Romualdi, and the Ethiopian War, among other issues, dealt a decisive blow to the faltering fortunes of Fascist propaganda in the United States. Italy’s aggression against Ethiopia spurred a strong anti Fascist reaction in the United States, especially among the African American community.
