chapter 20: fascism

According to Mussolini, fascism was anti-communism. Italy became a fascist regime where the government suspended democracy and imprisoned, deported, and executed opponents. They disbanded opposing political parties and groups were organized in corporations. Later on, the Germans took on fascism in the Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler. There was extreme nationalism with the use of extraordinary violence. Hitler generated a dictatorship where he enhanced the views on war. I want to point out that before the Jewish genocide occurred under the Nazi Party, Hitler got his ideas from the first modern genocide at the beginning of the nineteenth century known as the Armenian Genocide. The Turkish set out a systematic killing to all the Armenians in 1915 (look it up). Anyways, from my research, I found that fascism originated under the Italian regime. I chose this picture to show two of the most known fascist leaders, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. They became alliances and fascism became a horrendous definition. Mussolini brutally attacked and murdered his fellow Italian citizens and persecuted the Jewish people living in Italy. Both of these dictators had something crucial in common: who got to be part of their nation (superiority).
