- (I) and (II) are independent of each other.
Answer
(I) and (II) are independent of each other.
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because Mussolini followed an expansionist policy and believed that Italy must expand its territory to become powerful.
Statement (II) is also true because Mussolini was executed in 1945, and this marked the end of Fascism in Italy.
However, Statement (II) is not the reason for Statement (I). Statement (I) refers to Mussolini’s imperialist policy, while Statement (II) refers to the end of his rule and Fascism in Italy.
Therefore, Statement (I) and Statement (II) are independent of each other.
