About this Unit
Fascism was the only major new political movement and ideology to emerge in twentieth century Europe. After 1922 it changed the world in profound ways and with disastrous consequences. In this unit we will examine the historiography of fascism and the key events in fascist history in Germany, Italy, Britain and other places in Europe. Questions to be considered include: What factors promoted the growth of fascism? Which factors caused fascism to establish itself and prosper in some places but not in others?
