What were the principal characteristics of facism in Europe in the Inter-war years?

I'm basing my answer on the dictatorships in both Germany and Italy. The rise and fall of both Hitler and Mussolini. The basically the who, what, why and how they got to their places of leadership in each respective country.What were the principal characteristics of facism in Europe in the Inter-war years?A word of warning most of the usual stuff is distilled sh^t essentially accurate yet seeped in misconceptions and grossly distorted by the ultimate outcome of World War Two of the 20th Century by Common Reckoning.

This forum does not allow for lengthy answers that truly shed light on the topic, in fact most often anything other than a lame joke and a cliche gets a thumbs down.

That said, though Hitler %26amp; Mussolini were very different in personality and the situation %26amp; history of Italy and of Germany quite different there were shared characteristics.

Through the opening decades of the 20th Century European Nation grappled with the issue of Government namely what sort of system would work best and then as now people felt the need for a 'strong man.' Call this Man a King or Prime Minster or Chancellor or President, but let him dictate and lead while a group of legislators (Parliament, Congress, Assembly, Whatever) haggled over the messy details and tended to the actual management of a nation.

In short Italy %26amp; Germany were groping towards Democracy yet neither Nation trusted notion of a Democracy where-in the 'Strong Man' Quietlyy left office after a prescribed number of years.

Italy %26amp; Germany were aware of the chaos in France, the one true Democracy in Europe up to 1940, and in their own land the ruling assembly in Italy, the Rheichstagg in Germany were rife with corruption inefficiency stupidity (so unlike the American Congress of 2008-2009.



O-K, here goes, the point of all of this. In Italy Mussolinni in the early 1920's and while building power during the 1920's, Hitler in Germany in the early 1930's were 'Strong Men' who stepped into a power vacumn. Egotist, fervant Nationalist, both men though flawed and stupid in so many ways, were way more cunning %26amp; clever than the masses and especally their enemies, and both men did not merely seize power, but built a coalition willing to support their demand for power. Both men were effective in unleashing internal enemies against one another, and both exploited issues of 'terrorism' and 'jobs' by forcefully claiming to be experts as to what their respective nation's needed.

Initially Italy was more successful than Germany and it can be argued that if Hitler had never been then to this day Mussolinni would be revered for what he did for Italy, but when Hitler began rattling sabres it aroused the worst inside Ill Duce and pushed him to engage in one stupid misadventure after another.



One of the Principal Characteristics of Fascism was Simplicity. If an agency was not doing its job then fire everyone, even if firing meant a real firing squad %26amp; bullets. Italy actually laid the groundwork but Hitler was brilliant at ripping up old agreements while 'legally' enacting new 'progressive' legislation. Much of what Hitler did has been copied, and I do not say this for sake of being anti-American, but much of what Hitler did has been copied especially by Bush Republicans. For example, if people do not like Jews, then Outlaw Jews, if people do not like Unions, Outlaw Unions, if the State needs Money then write a law that makes it compulsory for companies to give the State Money, and the list goes on.



Strong simple even stupid autority mark Fascism then and Now.

Peace////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\What were the principal characteristics of facism in Europe in the Inter-war years?I don't know details of Mussolini, so I'll leave that alone.



But the rough contexts for Hitler's rise to power were these:



1. Financial

-Reparations having to be paid by Germany to the Allies after WW1

%26amp;

-Wall Street crash 1929, leading to Great Depression

which lead to

-Hyperinflation and collapse of German Economy. This meant people overnight became homeless, life savings were worth nothing. It was a major crisis, people were VERY unhappy and looking for someone to blame.



2. Political

-Formation of Weimar Republic - which consisted of proportional representation.

-Social Democrats not trusted.

-Hitler's involvement in 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, for which he was sent to jail and consequently gained national fame. Wrote 'Mein Kampf'.

-Able to gain seats in Reitchstag because of proportional representation. Eventually becomes largest party in government (some accounts of nazi officers intimidating voters though)

-Reitchtag fire 1933, blamed on a Communist (my view is that he was scapegoat and it was a conspiracy because...) Hitler takes the opportunity to declare National Emergency and the state seizes totalitarian control. Eventually in this year Hitler declares all other parties are illegal.

-1934 President Hindenburg dies and Hitler declares himself leader and chancellor of Germany. This was totally illegal but by this time he was too powerful to be challenged.



3. Historical

-History of anti-semitism in Germany.



4. Propaganda

-Hitler's ability to, within the crises of society, create the propaganda machine which claimed that Germany was once a great, commanding power in Europe (the Fatherland) and Hitler would unite the country and make it great once more.

-Hence the obsession with genetics and race. The Jewish, Romany Gypsy and Special Needs populations were in the Nazi view contaminating the blood of Germany).

-Creation of pagan-inspired religion to unite national sympathies.



(5. Indoctrination of the youth)

-Hitler youth (and equivalent for young women), intended to make the youth feel they 'belonged' whilst at the same time teaching them 'germaness' and how to fight etc.

-School teachers had to be members of the Nazi party. History books rewritten. Thus these young people entered the war having been taught the Germany was a great country which was to be defended.





There are several things I've left out, but it's a rough outline. Hope it helps.What were the principal characteristics of facism in Europe in the Inter-war years?I won't bother writing about Germany or Italy. I can see some of the other posters have done a good job explaining Germany. With regard to Italy there is an excellent documentary called fascism in colour on youtube that would answer your questions re Italy. I would attempt to type out an answer but it's been a while since I read and watched programmes about Italian History

What job(s) or inter-ship's should i take before becoming a forensic scientist?

Your college/university will have your intership already scheduled in your program. They will help you find the location of that intership; you pay for it as a college credit class.

I don't know if a crime lab would have a need for volunteers without any training.

    I love a girl who is not of my caste. And caste is the major concern for my family members. But I cannot leave this girl or my family. How to go smoothly with all this?How to succeed in inter caste marriage?I had the same problem...if the girl is with u and ready to wait for u, then u could do something...tell ur parents that if u marry, then u will marry that girl only...let them wait, and finally they will be agree...I get it like this...How to succeed in inter caste marriage?
    This is a difficult situation to be in. But if you love her and know that she is the one you are gonna be with then you need to talk with your family and let them know that your happiness should be what's important. If the girl doesn't really love you like you love her then it's not worth bringing this up to your family just yet. How long have you been together depends on when i would talk with my family. Remember you can't go through life being miserable and if your parents love you they will understand. My advice is put your best foot forward and try to get your parents to see things your way. If you have no intentions on disappointing your family then you may as well break off the relationship, sad to say but true. Good Luck!How to succeed in inter caste marriage?Your family can't choose for you when it comes to love. You need to make a decision if you love this girl then marry her. You'll be the one living your life not them. Eventually family will realize that you both love each other and hopefully will come around. Good Luck.
    It is very difficult to compromise your parents. You should have chosen a right girl. Okay, bro! Jus try convincing your mom first then your dad. Just persuade your parents that you cannot loose the girl and them neither. Good luck!



    DON'T EVER THINK OF ELOPING!!!How to succeed in inter caste marriage?mutual respect is the answer here. You learn about her system and teach her about yours.

    even the Supreme Court of India is all praise for inter-caste marriages [See Lata Singh v. UOI - 2006 Decision] as it really fosters fraternity %26amp; integrity of the nation, so there is no legal impediment at all.....
    Check age of both of you.

    If it is Ok then you only need determination. If your family members object you of course have to face them. But as a matter of right you can marryHow to succeed in inter caste marriage?
    I think If u really love her then strap on a pair of BALLS and tell ur parents that u love her n face the muzic -- that wat i did
    It should not matter what your family thinks, you cant help who you love. If you honestly love her the way you say u do you will be w her forever no matter what
    Who cares what your family thinks. If you love her, marry her.

    Placing all jokes aside, this volcanic activity seems destined to effect the fates of a lot of mankind's activity... While I recognize the importance of sports, I am concerned with the volcanic ash effects upon my version of bookies-- Wall Street.Will the volcanic ash cloud make a difference in the game between Inter and Bar?a?
    No, it will not affect Bar?a's trip to Milan. in fact, at the very moment, they are there, they've reached safe and fine the Italian city, as they left yesterday just after the training session, at about 14:30 from Barcelona, by two comfortable and huge coaches.



    Team to travel to Milan by coach in two stages (www.fcbarcelona.cat)

    The Bar?a expedition for Milan is finally travelling by coach, having left the Ciutat Esportiva at 14.30 this afternoon. It’s a 1,000 km road trip for the players who will stop over in Cannes tonight and then travel on to Milan on Monday morning.



    Barcelona-Cannes: 634 kilometres

    After lunch following training at the Ciutat Esportiva the players left at 14.30 for the 630 km trip to Cannes



    Cannes-Milan: 351 kilometres

    After staying overnight in Cannes, the team will take the coach again on Monday morning for the remaining 351 kms to Milan.



    Speaking on Monday morning ahead of the final part of Barca’s marathon journey to Milan, Technical Secretary Txiki Begiristain assured us that the tiredness brought on by the long coach trip would be cancelled out by the players’ desire to reach the

    Txiki told Barca TV and the Club’s website that the long slog by road could possibly affect the players, although he insisted that the lure of a second consecutive Champions League final would overcome any fatigue. He emphasized: “This is the final step before the final. There’s no tiredness here!”



    ?Por fin en Milán!



    Finalmente el Bar?a ya ha llegado a Milán después de haber salido el domingo al mediodía de Barcelona y de haber hecho noche en Cannes. Casi 1.000 kilómetros de viaje en autocar para jugar este martes ante el Inter de Mourinho.



    El primer equipo de fútbol ya se encuentra en Milán después de casi un día en la carretera, donde han cruzado los Pirineos, han pasado por Francia y, finalmente, han cruzado la frontera italiana hasta Milán. Un viaje que comenzó el domingo al mediodía en la Ciudad Deportiva, cuando los jugadores subían al autocar, y que ha puesto el punto final, un día más tarde, a las 14.00 horas, con la llegada del equipo al hotel de concentración de Milán.

    El motivo de este cambio de planes, la nube de ceniza proveniente del volcán de Islandia y que ha afectado al tráfico aéreo de Europa.



    De Cannes hasta Milán

    Tras hacer el domingo los primeros 634 kilómetros y hacer parada en Cannes donde han hecho noche, los jugadores convocados más el 'staff' técnico han vuelto a subir al autocar para hacer el último tramo del viaje. Han salido de Cannes a las 10 de la ma?ana. Por delante han tenido un trayecto de 351 kilómetros hasta la capital de la Lombardía.



    En total, 1.000 km

    En resumen, los azulgranas han hecho un viaje de 1.000 kilómetros, la distancia que separa Barcelona con Milán. Los mismos kilómetros que harán los aficionados que tengan entrada para el partido del martes contra el Inter y que han visto como los vuelos del RACC se han suspendido por la incertidumbre del tráfico aéreo a causa de la nube de ceniza que afecta a buena parte de Europa.



    Plan para la tarde

    De cara a la tarde, está previsto que Josep Guardiola y Dani Alves atiendan los medios de comunicación a partir de las 18:15 horas, en lo que será la rueda de prensa previa al partido de la ida de las semifinales de la Liga de Campeones. A las 19 horas el equipo entrenará en el Giuseppe Meazza. El primer cuarto de hora será abierto a los medios de comunicación.





    They are there, safe and ok, ready for the final training session, tacking place this afternoon:)Will the volcanic ash cloud make a difference in the game between Inter and Bar?a?Barcelona are travelling 450 miles by coach over two days to Italy for Tuesday's first leg against Inter Milan, while French side Lyon will make a 360-mile road trip for their tie at Bayern Munich on Wednesday.Will the volcanic ash cloud make a difference in the game between Inter and Bar?a?
    i Don't think it will it may put travelling fans off a bit..But only arsenal fans would really use this as an excuse.

    Who will win between Barcellona and Inter?

    In my opinion Barcelona is the favorite, but expect the two games very hard. The defense of Inter is much improved in recent months, i think they will do anything to stop Messi, Mourinho is not a fool and try to limit in any way the game of Barcelona.Who will win between Barcellona and Inter?I think Inter will win.

    Because Mourinho is a master tactician and he'll set his team up in such a way that they'll be hard to break down.Who will win between Barcellona and Inter?
    Actually it's tough to decide... I can bet that, unlike arsenal, Inter will definitely attack barca's strong point i.e. their defense. They'll also try to step messi down.. It's gonna be a VERY interesting match and not 2 forget mentioning, a close one..



    I am, with all my heart, gonna cheer (and cheer hard..) for one of the greatest teams in the world FC Barcelona and for one of the best players in the world Lionel Messi!Who will win between Barcellona and Inter?Well judging from two completely amazing performanves by both barca against arsenal, and inter against chelssea.... i have to say its gonaa be extremely close. Barca hav the better players with the likes of messi etc, but u can never underestimate the power of Mourinho.



    My pick is Barca but it will b decided in the later stages of the second leg/
    No question about it Barca! Who cares about Mouhrinio's mind gamesWho will win between Barcellona and Inter?I would have liked to see this be this year's CL final two evenly matched teams it is going to be close over two legs but if i have to pick a winner i will say. Barcelona to go through to the final 3-2 on agg over two legsWho will win between Barcellona and Inter?
    barca look imperious and unstoppable to me. it will be the ultimate test for mourinho.
    Barcelona are the better team, but Mourinho is the better manager. Not taking anything away from Guardiola, just that Mourinho is the better manager.



    Barcelona might win, Mourinho still the better manager though. I am going to go for Inter, no score predictions, just an Inter win on aggregate.Who will win between Barcellona and Inter?
    barcelona will win
    Barcelona will win the entire competition

    Can I purchase an Inter Rail pass in Rennes Train Station?

    My first stop around europe is Rennes in France.



    Will I be able to buy an InterRail pass from the train station there?Can I purchase an Inter Rail pass in Rennes Train Station?You should buy it in the country you live, but I have been told that in some countries you can buy InterRail passes as long as you live in a country where it is valid.



    But as you do not mention where you live we can not tell you where you can buy an InterRail pass.



    If you do not live in Europe you can not buy it anywhere.



    But anyhow, buying the pass in the first country you want to travel is not wise, as the pass is, as a rule, is not valid in the country it is sold.

    This site has a lot of info:

    http://www.interrailnet.com/

    It is also one selling the pass.

    Last time I checked it was cheaper to buy in England, as the fall of the Pound had not been worked into the price.



    Much useful info is hidden in this page, just read the FAQ and their answers:
