Fascism

Fascism is a right-wing ideology mainly centred in the Kingdom of Italy, specifically by the ideals of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The ideology popularised ultranationalism, militarism, some forms of welfare socialism and racism and supremacism of a certain race or peoples. For Mussolini, the idea came about over the need to restore former Italian lands and peoples and establish dominance in the Mediterranean. Another advocate of Fascism is Erich Ludendorff, who described Fascism as his plan for the future of the German Free State.

However, the ideology has been used as an umbrella term to describe National Socialism, a rising movement in the German Free State under Adolf Hitler, which focuses on Aryan supremacy and Pan-Germanism as its core tenets.
