"I'm not here to cheat, I'm here for help, any ideas? Thank You!"
Throughout the 20th Century, Fascist leaders came to power in various countries, including Germany, Italy, Soviet Union, Japan, and Spain. Through document analysis, students of free nations will be able to learn what life is like in a society without freedom.
Fascism is a political system in which the state has all the power. All citizens must work for the country and the government. A dictator or another powerful person is the head of such a state. He uses a strong army and a police force to keep law and order. He is often a strong, authoritarian leader who is, at the beginning, admired by many people. Fascism first appeared after World War I when Benito Mussolini came to power in Italy. In Germany of the 1930s Adolf Hitler’s National Socialism rose to power. Fascism also appeared in Japan, Spain and Argentina.
Fascist governments control the way people live. Those who criticize the government or do not obey are punished. They must leave the country, go to prison or are often executed. Fascist leaders want to make their state strong and powerful. They claim that only the strongest and fittest in the population can survive. With the help of a strong army they go to war and expand their territory. School teachers show children that only the state is important. Pupils must exercise to stay healthy. Young organizations are often created in which children admire the state and learn slogans and songs. They are trained to march and follow the beliefs of the ruling party. Fascist governments try to give all people work, mainly in the industries they need. They build roads, hospitals and industries which help them rise to power. In fascist countries no other political parties are allowed. The government controls newspapers, radio and television. There is no freedom of speech.

2. Nationalism: Fascism often capitalizes on nationalistic sentiments, promoting a sense of pride and superiority in one's country. After World War I, countries like Italy and Germany sought to regain their former glory and saw Fascist leaders as the solution to restore national pride.
3. Anti-communism: Fascism emerged as a response to the perceived threat of communism. Promoting anti-communist ideologies, Fascist leaders promised to protect the nation from the spread of communism and create a strong, unified society in its place.
