Radicalized by World War and Depression, adherents of this new political philosophy gained control of several European countries and transformed them from liberal democracies to totalitarian states. Concentrating on culture and society, we will explore why and how such groups came to power in countries including Italy and Germany, what fascists believed, the elements of their programs, and the legacies they left behind. An original research or historiographical paper, oral presentations, and extensive class discussion are required.Prerequisites: Any History course at the 100 or 200-level or permission of the instructor.
