To determine how Mussolini applied imperialism to promote fascism in Italy during the 1930s, we need to evaluate the given options.
Option 1: Italian forces gained control of Morocco in North Africa after defeating Franco’s forces.
This option does not directly relate to Mussolini promoting fascism in Italy. Additionally, there is no mention of Morocco being conquered by Italy during this time.
Option 2: Italian forces gained control of Morocco in North Africa after defeating Franco’s forces.
This option is a repetition of the previous option and does not provide any relevant information.
Option 3: Italian forces conquered the northeastern African nation of Ethiopia.
This option provides information relevant to Mussolini's imperialism. Mussolini's regime did indeed conquer Ethiopia in 1935-1936, aiming to establish Italian influence and expand Italy's empire.
Option 4: Italian forces conquered Japan after it joined the Axis alliance.
This option is not historically accurate. Italy did not conquer Japan during the 1930s, and Japan did not join the Axis alliance until later in the 1940s.
Option 5: Italian forces invaded the Soviet Union in an attempt to eliminate communism.
This option is also not historically accurate. Italy did not invade the Soviet Union in the 1930s. The invasion of the Soviet Union by the Axis powers, including Italy, occurred in 1941 during World War II.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Italian forces conquered the northeastern African nation of Ethiopia.
Mussolini's imperialistic ambition in Ethiopia was a significant example of him applying imperialism to promote fascism within Italy during the 1930s.
