Abstract
This seminar investigates one of the most tumultuous eras in Western history by exploring the political and
cultural development known as “fascism.” Radicalized by World War and Depression, adherents of this new
political philosophy gained control of several European countries and proceeded to change 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, Germany, Spain, and France, what fascists believed, the
elements of their programs, and the legacies they left behind.
