Compare the historical conditions of the emergence of fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany, as well as their ideological content. What did they have in common and what was different?
Fascism as a political regime originated in Italy. The reason for this was the disappointing results of the First World War, as a result of which the country’s reputation suffered. To restore the honor of the country and the nation as a whole, Benito Mussolini created the organization “Union of Struggle”, which called on the Italians to enslave peoples and restore the greatness of the Roman Empire.
In Germany, fascism grew into Nazism. The German fascists were guided by the principles of the superiority of the Aryan nation and believed that such a high nation should not live in poverty when the “laggards” in development and “unworthy” floods live. The Nazis believed that it was necessary to capture and destroy such peoples.
