From the Paper
"Susan Sontag uses the artistry of film director and later photographer Leni Riefenstahl as an example to analyze the idea of fascist art. Sontag finds that many works of art from the fascist era try to impart a certain idea of beauty that is itself a propagandistic and ideological political statement. Sontag offers an extensive description of fascist art, but in some ways her generalizations can be applied to nearly all works in some fashion and so raises the issue of whether she has actually identified a different style or done so in a way that is sufficiently differentiating.
"Sontag begins by referring to Leni Riefenstahl's book of photographs, The Last of the Nuba. Sontag finds a number of outright lies in what Riefenstahl claims about her life and her work on the cover and traces these lies to show how Riefenstahl..."

Abstract
The rise of fascist states in Germany and Italy during the post-World War I era was accompanied by similar movements in nations across the world; but most of these never achieved the same prominence. This paper examines how Great Britain saw the emergence of the British Union of Fascists, which gained thousands of supporters and how the organization never came to power. It contends that the failure of the fascist movement in Great Britain had economic origins.
From the Paper
"For the first two years of its existence the British Union of Fascists was successful in recruiting thousands of members in depressed areas across Britain. Their doctrines borrowed much from the established fascist governments in Italy and Germany, which Mosley visited himself. Oswald Mosley's wife, Dianna, was one of the few people in the world to be well acquainted with both Winston Churchill and Adolph Hitler. The British Union of Fascists "received financial support form Mussolini, and adopted the idea of the corporate state." Mosley also perpetuated the practice of finding racial scapegoats for economic instability-he blamed the Jews, and endorsed Hitler's management of them. Of course, however, this was well before anyone became aware of the scale by which Hitler was massacring them. "

Abstract
Russia is a nation that has been through much social, political, and economic turmoil. This paper looks at how, after the fall of communism and the failure of democracy in the nation, there have been various nationalist and fascist regiments being established. It shows that, although there have been fascist groups in Russia for over a century, they have become a significant minority in Russia's political culture. The subcultures are varied, ranging from the more reactionary ideology of Yevgeny Bikov and Pamyat to the revolutionary platform of Alexander Barkashev and the RNE.
From the Paper
"Russia is a nation that has had a history of imbalance. For the first thousand years of it?s existence, it had operated under the plutocratic czarist system, which had a major disparity between the noble class and the serfs. Then, in the early 20th century, there was a political upheaval, in which Russia was absorbed into the Soviet Union, a dictatorship where advancement in society was based on party loyalty rather than relations. If one was a faithful member of the Communist Party, then they could get power, regardless of ancestry. This system was done with good intentions, but it ended up failing after 70 years."

A Failed Dominion, 2002.
Discuses relations between the Italian fascist state and Italian women of the era.

Abstract
This paper will argue that, contrary to popular opinion, Italian Fascism did not "rule" women. Indeed, the early Fascist Party was actually a strong supporter of more equal roles for women. Even later, when the Fascist government altered its policies toward women in order to co-opt conservative and Catholic forces, it will be seen that almost every policy initiative of the state that touched upon women and women's role in society failed spectacularly.

Abstract
This paper begins with a general discussion on fascist states in Europe. It continues to focus on the reasons why the fascist government in Spain outlasted those in the rest of Europe. The author concludes with a short summary, discussing the social, financial and economic realities in Spain.
From the Paper
"Additionally, since the competing ideological and political forces in Spain were so evenly matched the nation was gripped by Civil War during the time in which other fascist nations were building for World War. The urban centers tended to be extreme leftists while the rural areas tended to be radical conservatives. Although France and Great Britain were alarmed by Franco's military rise to power, they were hard-pressed to intervene to stymie his movement from ultimately destroying the Republican movement. Essentially, Franco was helped by French and British concern over German rearmament, and this left them unable to act against him. Also, Franco was helped by the fact that his German allies did not want to act on his behalf: "From the German point of view we are not one hundred per cent interested in a Franco victory. What does interest us is a prolongation of the war in Spain, so that tension in the Mediterranean is increased." "

Franco as an Opportunist, 2003.

Abstract
This paper uses the Spanish Revolution to show that Francisco Franco exploited Catholicism and other Spanish cultural sentiments in order to gain support and power. The writer argues that, more than a Fascist or a Nationalist, Franco was simply a clever opportunist.
From the Paper
"Although Franco has been described as a Nationalist and a Fascist, in reality, just as Mussolini and Hitler exploited internal economic depression and negative international relations, Francisco Franco exploited the internal conflict and religious persecution which accompanied it to achieve personal power. Franco did have genuine Catholic beliefs, but not as strong as he portrayed them. Even though Franco had fascist ideas and tendencies, he was truly just an opportunist who saw a chance to seize total power and took it and was ?inspired and recommended by the powers protecting him? (Ranzato, 70) to turn to fascism."

Abstract
Benito Mussolini was the Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 until 1943. He was very popular for most of the time he was in power, but by the time he was shot by Communists in 1945 he had become very unpopular and his death was welcomed. My goal in this paper is to take a look at his family, his education and how he became so power-hungry that he brought about his own ruin. I also will look at whether he had emotional illnesses and how they might have affected his thinking and craving for power.

"Introduction
In his exploration of 20th century fascism between the wars, Payne (1995) described Mussolini as the most liberal of the totalitarian personalities that dominated that period. Perhaps this was a vestige of his earlier involvement with revolutionary socialism, or a reflection from his early years. Yet, the fact remains that Mussolini, along with Hitler, was an architect of fascism and of the policies that led to World War II. The intention in the following pages is to explore Mussolini's rise to power, including his childhood and youthful political development."

"The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast the ideological perspectives of Karl Kautsky and Benito Mussolini. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the ideology of each figure emerged, to describe the tenets of their ideologies, and to discuss how and why they formed their political and social beliefs, with reference to specific issues, in particular their views of economics, governance, religion, and the position of the individual citizens vis-a-vis the state. The comparison between the ideologies will emerge in elaboration of Kautsky's views, followed by a comparative elaboration of Mussolini's.
Karl Kautsky (1854-1938) and Benito Mussolini (1883-1945) were at polar opposites of the ideological spectrum, with Kautsky espousing Marxist doctrine for most of his life and Mussolini... "

From the Paper
"In 1922 the Fascist party, led by Benito Mussolini, gained political power in Italy and gradually changed the government into a one-party dictatorship under Mussolini's control. From that time until his death Mussolini's only interest was in holding on to power. He was willing to do whatever he had to do to keep power. He did not operate on the basis of any principles or beliefs that could not be adapted when it suited his purpose. Mussolini remained in power until he was thrown out after a number of Italian military disasters in World War II. The Nazis set him up as the head of a puppet state in Northern Italy, but when Mussolini tried to flee from the Allies he was captured by the Italian underground and executed. The attitude he expressed to the very end was that a better choice would have kept him in power longer. As the end grew near in 1944 Mussolini admitted he..."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine various issues surrounding the fact that fascist ideology in Third-Reich Germany honored mothers in a particular way. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which Nazi ideology penetrated the social and cultural position of women in Germany when Hitler came to power, and then to discuss how the policies that flowed from such ideology actually affected women's status in the Third Reich.
... note a gradual ideological shift in Nazi Germany's treatment of the idea of motherhood. They say that Nazi ideologues saw women as the anchor of highly traditional family values from the beginning of their quest for political power in Germany, but that official policy toward women in general and mothers in particular changed to fit political ...

Abstract
This paper examines the many reasons why fascism caught on in Europe during the 1920s through the 1940s. It discusses how, whether in Italy, Germany, Spain, or some other fascist state, all fascist regimes had at least five main points in common, points that when analyzed both individually and collectively paint a pretty accurate picture of what fascism was all about. It concludes that fascism was just as much a reaction to the confusion and hardship brought on by the Great War and its economic ramifications, as well as the disillusionment with prior government policy, as it was a product of the vision of men like Mussolini, Hitler, or Franco.
From the Paper
"Thirdly, all fascist nations shared in the idea that a great leader would emerge, rise up, and lead the nation to glory (paralleling the idea of Nietzsche's "Super Man"). "Just as National Socialism needed its enemies, so it also required its heroes. For... the Nazis turned once again to volkisch thought and the notion of the fuhrerprinzip (leadership principle), centered on a mystical figure embodying and guiding the nation's destiny..." (Welch, Modern European History, 145). The fourth binding principle that all fascist regimes share is a belief in racism, which stems from the idea of belonging to a specific group, a group based on race, where others (Jews in particular) become actively excluded (which is probably best evident in Nazi Germany).

Abstract
This paper looks at how Stanley Payne attempts to define fascism in his book "Fascism: Comparison and Definition". The paper explains that in order to address the challenge of fascism, we must understand what fascism is. The paper discusses how fascism went through a series of stages in Italy and Germany and how Hitler created what was arguably the purest fascist state, although it did not conform fully to the principles of fascism. The paper notes that Spain and Portugal represent two other case studies for Payne, but he finds in neither of them the true fascist regime. The writer points out that Payne covered a tremendous range of sources ,as the footnotes throughout the book show, but unfortunately Payne leaves a much more profound question unasked and unanswered: Do we need to re-examine the history and meaning of fascism to determine if it is becoming a prevalent force in parts of the world that Payne found no reason to discuss, and is the United States in danger of becoming fascist?
From the Paper
"Payne reviews the antecedents of modern fascism and finds these in the "corporatist" movement, a movement which sought to combined social orders under an authoritarian government working closely with business cartels, in reaction to chaotic individualism.(23-24 ) It was also a reaction to the splintered state of many democratic movements (25-26), and a neomonarchist movement (27-29), and a support movement for imperialist policies. (29-31) All of these forces converged at a time of terrible cultural crisis as the First World War tore Europe and European sensibilities to pieces. In the psychological void that followed, many people found comfort in the simplicity of authoritarian answer."
