 In September 1936, Gömbös informed German officials that he would establish a Nazi-like, one-party government in Hungary within two years, but he died in October without realizing this goal.In foreign affairs, Gömbös led Hungary towards close relations with Italy and especially Germany; in fact, Gömbös coined the term Axis, which was later adopted by the German-Italian military alliance.Soon after his appointment, Gömbös visited Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and gained his support for revision of the Treaty of Trianon.
