Fascism and Nazism: Origins, Characteristics, and Expansion
Italian Fascism
The causes of the rise of fascism.
Italy entered the First World War without parliamentary consent. At the end of it, the large external debt triggered rising inflation, and the demobilization of the army increased unemployment.
The traditional political parties had to cope with this delicate situation, and much of the population began to support extremist parties: the Communist Party and the Fasci Italiani di Combattimento, led by Benito Mussolini.

The Core of Platonism
