In the mid-1930s, after 15 years in power, Mussolini remained unsatisfied with his accomplishments. Becoming increasingly radical, he was consumed by a singular obsession: to transform Italians into "new men" and Italy into a warrior nation. By 1938, having already defeated the Left in the 1920s and the Ethiopians in the mid-1930s, he identified a new enemy: the Jews. Aligning himself with Hitler, whom he believed would assist him in establishing a new empire along the Mediterranean shores, Mussolini found Italy less willing to rally behind him.
