How does fascism take root in democratic societies? And what are the means by which fascists exercise power? This unit traces the emergence of authoritarian regimes in Europe after World War One, as well as the movements that arose to resist them. Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and other case studies will be explored through a study of ideology, propaganda, memoirs, art, and cinema.
