The Combatants' Party (Italian: Partito dei Combattenti, PdC) was a nationalist political party in Italy, whose aim was to protect the interests of First World War veterans.
History
[edit]It was formed for the 1919 general election and gained 4.1% of the vote and 20 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. The party joined the leftist Italian Socialist Party of Nicola Bombacci as part of the opposition against the Christian democrat/Liberal majority.
On 17 August 1920 the Combatants' Party changed its name into Party of Renewal (Partito del Rinnovamento)[1] or Group of Renewal (Gruppo del Rinnovamento), also opening up to non-combatants,[2] but causing a schism by a large number of sections, some of which wanted to maintain the non-partisan independence of the Association, while other sections proposed to found an Italian action party.
By the 1921 election it had declined and won only 1.7% of the vote and 10 seats.[3] This time they joined the governing coalition of the right headed up by the Italian People's Party and the National Bloc.
