Fascist States in WWII



Fascist States in WWII

Fascism is a political philosophy in which total power is given to a dictator and individual freedoms are denied. Citizens have no voice in the decisions of the government. In a fascist country, the state controls all aspects of life: political, social, cultural, and economic. The fascist state regulates and controls (as opposed to nationalizing) the means of production. Fascism glorifies the nation, state, or race as superior to the individuals, institutions, or groups composing it. Fascist leaders usually use images of a nation’s past glory to inspire the people. Fascist leaders demand loyalty. Following WWI, several European states came under the control of Fascist dictators who took control of their countries while they were in weakened economic states. They imposed order and helped their nations recover economically, then began to limit freedoms.
