Fascism was of profound significance for Europe between 1918 and 1945. It spread throughout the continent and dominated several states, with almost incalculable consequences. Yet fascism is also one of the most problematic issues in modern history. How is the term best defined? How far was fascism a political ideology, and how far merely a "style" of rule? Why did fascism spread so rapidly, and exactly which regimes should be called fascist? In particular, should Nazi Germany be classified as a fascist state, or do the differences between the Hitler and Mussolini regimes outweigh their similarities? Blending research with accessible narrative, the author aims to provide a thought-provoking and readable introdcution to this key theme of 20th-century history. The book is part of the "Access to History" series, which provides concise and readable introductions to major issues in British, European and world history for higher level students. Study guides are included in each chapter.
