Fascism Vs. Nazism

5 Similarities
1. Both fascism and Nazism wanted to expand their empires. Fascists thought that they needed to expand their empire in order to grow stronger and have greater success. National socialists also liked the idea of an expanded empire because it lead to unity.

2. The two also had to overthrow a former government to get into power. Hitler overthrew the Weimar government and Italy overthrow the monarchy.

3. Both fascism and Nazism do not want any kind of democracy or other form of government, " We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order". They want to not be apart of other forms of government like socialism or democracy.


4. Both Nazism and fascism believed that everything done should be done to benefit the state. Every action completed should be for the better of the state not to selfishly benefit an indvidual.

5. Both prepared their military for war. Hitler wanted a strong military because only through military force would he gain more land, and thus more power and money. Mussolini prepared his military so that the Italian people would fear the military's strength, only through fear would he be able to control the people.





1. I think that German Nazism would appeal more to adolescents. German propaganda targeted the younger audience. German Nazism agreed to give better education and protection to the younger.

2. I think that the hardest part of getting the population’s acceptance is getting the public’s trust. Mussolini created his own newspapers to get it into the public, he wanted to share his ideas to the public and tries to gain public acceptance to them.

3. I think the hardest part of gaining public acceptance in Nazism is proving that their new government was better that their former government, the Weimar Republic. Hitler used propaganda to gain public trust and he was also a great public speaker so it helped the public accept him.
