Fascism promotes national and racial
superiority and a centralized, autocratic
government headed by a dictator.
Characteristics of Fascism:
1. Extreme Nationalism:
•Fascist leaders demand unquestioned loyalty
and service to the nation-state.
•A strong state, they argue, has every right to
overcome a weaker state.
•Racial purity – multiculturalism & intermarriage
were seen as ways to weaken the nation.
Races and cultures were separated.

2. Racial purity:
•Similar to extreme nationalism
•Belief that inter-marriage, multiculturalism
weaken and corrupt the state
•Often pass laws that promote separation of
races and cultures.
•In extreme situations open discrimination and
racism become state policy
![Page 47: The Great Depression - Courses · Causes of the Great Depression. 1. The unequal distribution between rich and poor. Population Wealth 5% 65% 5% of the population owns 65% of wealth!](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051802/5aeb1b2e7f8b9a36698de79b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
3. Military Strength, Violence and War:
•Fascism emphasized militarism.
•Fascists believed aggression was strength,
while the desire for peace showed weakness.
•The military had to be strong, sizable, and
well trained.
•Fascists used violence to intimidate and
subdue political opponents
•Fascists felt war was inevitable, even
necessary if they were to achieve greatness.

4. Devotion to the leader:
•Fascist parties promote the cult of the
leader and absolute obedience.
•They condemn democracy because they
believe rival political parties can destroy
the unity of the state.
•They swear loyalty to one person who
becomes the voice of the nation and
represents the entire power of the nation.
•No dissent is tolerated.

5. Use of Scapegoats:
•People and groups are unjustly blamed for
the nation’s problems.
•Mussolini blamed democrats, unions and
socialists
•Hitler blamed communists, Weimar
politicians and Jews.
•This strategy resulted in the deaths of
millions
