European Fascism
European Fascism was a political ideology that emerged in early 20th-century Europe, emphasizing strong centralized authority, nationalism, and often militarism. It rejected democracy and liberal values, promoting totalitarian control by a single leader or party. Fascists prioritized the supremacy of the state and often targeted minorities and dissenters. Notable examples include Italy under Mussolini and Nazi Germany under Hitler. The movement sought to unify and mobilize society through authoritarian means, often using propaganda and violence, leading to aggressive expansionism and widespread conflicts like World War II.
