Fascism Vs. Nazism

Five similarities include:
1. They both led up to fascism. Even though Germany went about doing it differently than Italy... they both had fascism in the end.

2. Germany and Italy both got the bad end of the Versailles Treaty and therefore they were both ready for a change and this helped contribute to fascist ideas.

3. The Natzis were very powerful and everyone feared them just like everyone feared Mussolini.

4. Even though Mussolini got his ideas across through his newspaper, and Hitler got his ideas of fascism across through his speeches... they both got their ideas out.

5. Last but not least, they are both similar because Mussolini and Hitler both had to overcome something in order to be in charge. For Mussolini, he had to come up with his own newspaper and for Hitler he had to overcome the Weimar Republic.

Questions:
1. The ideology that I believe would more appeal to adolescents would be Fascism. Adolescents like to have freedom and not be controlled in everything they do. A little boundaries is good, but Nazism in my opinion, is to controlling. An example of this would be Hitler and the Nazis banning the labor unions... this is taking it too far. Now the people can not even voice their opinions.

2. Looking at the Fascist ideal, I think the hardest part of getting the populations acceptance would be getting the ideas out in the open. Mussolini had to make his own newspaper in order to share his ideas with others. Once, he got his ideas shared, the people agreed with him for two reasons in my opinion. First, he was very powerful and no one wanted to stand up to him.. not even the king. Also, Italy as a whole believed they did not get their fair share in the Versailles Treaty and they were now ready to change things around.

3. Looking at the Nazi ideal, I think the hardest part of getting the populations acceptance would be accepting the fact that one can not do anything about it since they banned the labor unions and trade unions. Their civil rights were being diminished, but if one accepted that then they could gain the positives of it, which include the building of roadways and other ways of transportation such as highways. Also, positive corporations were being established.
