The Combatants' Party (Italian: Partito dei Combattenti, PdC) was a nationalist political party in Italy, whose aim was to protect the interests of WWI veterans.
It was formed for the 1919 general election and gained 4.1% of the vote and 20 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, while in 1921 it won only 1.7% of the vote and 10 seats.[1] The party took part to the governments of Benito Mussolini until 1923 when the government transformed the party into the National Association of Combatants and Veterans (Associazione Nazionale Combattenti e Reduci, ANCR).
