Answer 1

Removing unemployment and making the nation self sufficient

Explanation:

The primary goal of fascist economic reforms under leaders like Mussolini was to address unemployment and ensure national self-sufficiency (autarky). The state took measures to control industries, agricultural production, and trade to reduce dependence on foreign imports and stabilise the economy. These policies aimed to create jobs and promote nationalism through economic independence.
