Opis

This text surveys the phenomenon of Fascism in Europe which is still the object of interest and debate over 50 years after its defeat in World War II. It introduces the scholarship and continuing debates on the nature of fascism as well as the often contentious contributions by foreign historians and political scientists. From the pre-World War I intellectual origins of Fascism to its demise in 1945, this book examines: the two waves of fascism - in the immediate post-war period and in the late 1920s and early 1930s; whether the European crisis created by the Treaty of Versailles allowed fascism to take root; why fascism came to power in Italy and Germany, but not anywhere else in Europe; fascism's own claim to be an international and internationalist movement; the idea of totalitarianism as the most useful and appropriate way of analyzing the fascist regimes. With a timeline of key dates, maps, illustrations, a glossary and a guide to further reading, Fascism in Europe, 1919-1945 should be a value introduction to this political movement and ideology.
