Fascism: Radical Authoritarian Nationalism In Early 20th-Century Europe

During the 1930’s when Fascism was at it height, populist art fought against the domination of fascism by diverting the fashionable ideals of fascism with the ideas of populism. The US was producing popular art in its populous country to share the rest of the world as an attempt to ward off the Fascists. They decided to distract everybody from Fascism by art, film, dance, etc. that appealed to the similar but different enough ideals of populism and democracy.

Fascism is a 20th century form of nationalistic, militaristic, totalitarian dictatorship that seeks to create a feasible society through strict regimentation of national and individual lives. Total subordination to the service of the state and unquestioning loyalty to its leader would adjust conflicting interests. It is a modern political ideology that looks to regenerate the social, economic, and cultural life of a country by basing it on a heightened sense of national belonging of ethnic identity. Fascism rejects liberal ideas of freedom and individual rights, it often presses for the destruction of elections, legislatures and other elements of democracy. Despite fascism’s idealistic goals, attempts to build fascist

Fascism is an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organisation. The ideology had influence in countries such as Japan, Italy and Germany during the 1930s and 40s. The term was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy from 1922-43. However, generally key components of the ideology include a supremacy of one national ethnic group within society, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader and a strong demagogic approach. The form fascism takes place in varies from country to country. However, common characteristics are substantiated on specific beliefs, a political culture and ideology, common political goals, organisation with a specific character of ideas among the movements.

Fascism is the philosophy of government that glorifies the state and nation and assigns control to the state. Mussolini believes that "the foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim." While the state is responsible for organizing the nation, there is a sufficient amount of liberty for the individual. Under Fascism, an Empire is able to lead other nations without conquering them. It resembles Social Darwinism closely. The idea of the survival of the fittest means that the strong nation comes out ahead, and Mussolini promises to become the strongest. With a strong dictatorial leader, wants can be achieved through obtaining strong military and brute force alone. It promoted masculine heroism, militarism, and discipline. Enormous amounts of money were dedicated to military, and to serve in the military was an honor. It proved successful in the

Through the close examination of Speer as an individual within the Nazi state, it is important to distinguish his architectural career into two distinct sections; pre-GBI and GBI. Through analysing Speer’s actions through these respective lenses, historians are equipped to make an informed historical judgement on Speer and his specific roles within the confines of the Nazi political hierarchy. Speer, through his early architectural role in the party, from 1931 to 1937, was able to demonstrate his aptitude for architecture and design. It is important to note that during the years 1931 to 1933, Hitler was not as influential as he became during his appointed time as Reich chancellor, as such, Speer’s role within the party at this point remains

Once in power, Adolf Hitler wasted no time establishing a fascist regime. He was a man obsessed with translating his ideals into a reality. In order to accomplish such a feat, Hitler and the Nazi party would have to mold the German people into a single unit that would follow him and his regime under any circumstances (Spielvogel, 140). Hitler viewed himself as a messianic leader with a mission to “liberate the German people and make Germany great” (Spielvogel, 132). Hitler was a great orator and considered himself a “great simplifier.” During his speeches, he “inhaled the feelings of his audience,” and then expressed to his listeners

During the 1800's Europe had been the cultural, military, political, and the financial center of the world. Political Liberalism and parliamentary institutions was prosperous. After World War I the world faced economic disasters.

The aim of a dictator is to gain complete control over every aspect of a nation or empire, so it is to be expected that this control would extend to their natural and architectural surroundings. Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler were two such domineering men, with definitive ideas of how their land should appear and function. This essay will explore how two dictators, living thousands of years apart (100-44 BC and 1889-1945, respectively) controlled the design and building of their landscapes. Specific attention will be paid to how each man’s political principles are represented through one iconic symbol of his architectural choices (in this case, the Forum of Julius Caesar in Rome, Italy and the Reichsparteitagsgelände-Nazi party rally grounds-in

This essay will talk about the life of the Nazi Party (also known as the National Socialist German Workers ' Party), Fascism in Germany, and Adolf Hitler. It will think about what influenced Germany to vote for the Nazis and whether or not Hitler was brought up with the idea of fascism, or whether he was mentally scarred from a young age. This essay will also discuss about how did the Nazis do in their early years in the German elections, and how did a fascist party with such ludicrous ideas persuade a country as large and as multi - religion as Germany?

World War II started in September 1939 and lasted until 1945. It was fought between the Axis Powers Germany, Italy, and Japan against the Allies Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, China, and the United States. The war began with the rise of Nazi Germany and their goal of spreading their European influence. Britain, Germany, Poland, and France are the first powers to go to war due to the promise to protect Poland’s Borders from Germany. In the end the War would total over 60 million deaths.

Through the analysis of events and constructions relating to the works of Speer and Hitler, it can be clearly seen that, unlike Krier’s statements to the contrary, the works constructed during the Nazi period cannot be separated from their political surroundings and must be observed and examined within their political context. By recounting events within the Nazi regime relating to the constructions and building works of the regime it becomes clear that the works are not only intrinsically linked to the political context, but are a means in order to expand and concentrate political ideology.

Germany and Italy both developed aggressive nationalism that led to the idea of Fascism and Nazi. Mussolini first started the idea of fascism in the early twentieth century. Fascism, which derived from the Italian word fascio meant “group”, and was originally used to unite people together for public interests. (607) Nazi was the abbreviation of National Socialist Workers’ Party, a group of nationalist militants who refused to accept the defeat of Germany. (610) German people wanted to see a strong Germany, and they saw Hitler as the future for a stronger nation. The Nazi had a good starting point put they blame and hatred on socialists and Jews and caused huge tragedy including wars and holocaust. German people, however, approved the violence

Fascism was first detected after World War I in Italy. After the war, the people of Italy were ready for a new political aspect. Benito Mussolini was the man who brought this fascist ideology to Italy. Mussolini has been looking for the perfect opportunity to take complete control of a country and now was the time to do so. “In 1919 Mussolini and his followers, mostly war veterans, were organized along paramilitary lines and wore black shirts and uniforms.”(Halsall pg.2) After defeats at the polls Mussolini used his new financial backing to clothe a gang of thugs who

1870 is a year to remember in Italian history: indeed, on 20 September 1870, the Italian army marched into Rome and captured the city, completing the unification process begun by Garibaldi and his Thousand in Sicily ten years earlier, in 1860.
