Fascism was the governing ideology of Germany and Italy. It was fascist thinking that led both countries to believe that they were right to start the war and that they could win it. A central tenet of Fascism was that they were superior to all other peoples. This sense of innate superiority made it impossible for the German and Italian leaders to accept, or even imagine, that they could lose the war. Thus they kept on fighting long after there was even the slightest hope of even a conditional surrender permitting the survival of their governments. They fought to the very end instead of seeking a negotiated peace much earlier on. This resulted in terrible destruction and devastation of their countries.

∙ 9y agoThere was no fascism in Germany. Only Germany wanting its total freedom from not being in debt to bankers. I think any normal and sane person would rather pay 1 dollar for bread than 8 billion marks for bread.

∙ 11y agoMussolini and the Italians first coined the name fascism from Fascio di Combatimento - the Returned Servicemens League in Italy after World War 1. This League expanded its base to include the public service and small businessmen and so gained a bigger power base.
In Germany the version of fascism Hitler and his party imposed on Germany was called Nazism. Nazi wass short for Nazional Socialische Deutschland Arbiter Partei - German National Socialist Party, a combination again of big government, big business and big unions, copying the Italian model, and so getting the Fascist name in Europe.
