During the years between the two world wars, many democracies in Europe fell victim to Fascist ideology. It took on many guises—Fascism in Italy, Nazism in Germany, Arrow Cross in Hungary, Falange in Spain, Rex Party in Belgium, Iron Guard in Romania, Action Francaise in France, among others. The course explores the meaning of Fascism, what were its characteristics and the reasons why it erupted with such violence. The question is also relevant to right- and left-wing movements in the contemporary world.
