First, I outline the historical events that deepened the divide between the two powers and analyze their consequences for the political climate inherited by Benito Mussolini and Pope Pius XI in 1922. An analysis of the "Roman Question"and its resolution, the Lateran Accords, will be set against larger themes of collective identity, fragmented citizenry, diplomacy, and ideology. This study examines how the Lateran Accords exacerbated the conflicting situation and prompted both the Papacy and the government to initiate massive socialization projects in an effort to draw citizens into their respective spheres of influence. Focusing on initiatives in the Italian education system and youth group organizations, this thesis demonstrates how both Catholics and Fascists specifically targeted youth. My thesis is most significant in its comparative analysis of Catholic and Fascist youth socialization. 2008-05-05 English text Miami University Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=muhonors1209428086 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=muhonors1209428086 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
