Compare Italian fascism and German Nazism. What is the difference and what are the common features?

Both fascism and Nazism were of a totalitarian nature. Absolute control of the state over all spheres of citizens’ life was assumed. Both ideologies had a cult of the leader – the Duce of the Nazis and the Fuhrer of the Nazis. There were also differences. For example, the role of the state. According to the Germans, the party was supposed to rule the state. In Italy, the party obeyed. Italian fascism was not as brutal as that of the Germans. The Italians wanted to revive the Roman Empire, and the Germans wanted to establish world domination of the chosen race.
