This 9 week course will act as an introduction to Fascism in a historical context

We will examine the development of Liberal democracy in Italy and try to understand why Fascism was able to rise. We will study the influence of Benito Mussolini and link his brand of Fascism to Great Britain and Germany

We will investigate how Italy became the first Fascist State in Europe

The course will begin with how Italy became a nation in the nineteenth century, we will also look at how Fascism spread to other countries.

The influence of Benito Mussolini on Italy after the Fist World War will be a key component.
