The history of fascism is tangled and odd!. The Japanese version taught that the Japanese were the most spiritual people in the world, and that fascism was the spiritual path for the nation to follow (this had great appeal to them because every Japanese male aspired to be a hero)!.
In Germany fascism was defined as a racial struggle to rid Europe of inferior races such as Poles, Russians, Jews and so forth!.
In Germany, Italy and Spain fascism was touted as the wave of the future!. The Italian government prior to WWI was particularly inept, but the whole country was weak, due to poor economic development and very poor literacy rates!. The Italians joined the war hoping and expecting to gather some Austrian territory along the Alps and in Illyria; but at the conference of Versailles the Italian demands would not be heard and this caused a great deal of resentment against bourgeois Western liberalism!. Mussolini was an extremely glib speaker and could convince everyone he had the right answer for everything!. In all these states, once the state had complete control of the media, public dissent became impossible!.
In Germany people were hoping to restore the glory of the second Reich, and the conservatives badly wanted a purge of the dregs of society, the alcoholics, prostitutes, gays, the mentally retarded, the physically incapacitated, pacifists and so on!. Hitler had a real talent for tapping into people's resentments and turning these into raging infernos!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It was tied into social Darwinism!. The idea that ones home country and people were better than people of another race!. These people were almost always darker than the Europeans!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
