The flag of the National Fascist Party of Italy bearing the fasces, the namesake of fascism

Fascism is a political ideology based primarily on nationalism. Definitions of fascism beyond that are controversial, and the term is often abused as an epithet. Also, fascism’s position in the political spectrum is disputed. Fascism originated in Europe in the aftermath of World War I in the form of Italian Fascism. Similar movements, most notably Nazism, started in other countries, taking fascism worldwide. Several of these fascist movements came to power over their respective countries, many of which joined Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany to form the Axis powers. The Allies defeated the Axis in World War II. After that defeat, fascism went underground to later resurface as neofascism.

Selected article

Adolf Hitler, writer of "Mein Kampf", in the early 1920s
Mein Kampf (English: My Struggle) is a book by Adolf Hitler (pictured). It combines elements of autobiography, an exposition of Hitler's political ideology, and a history of the early Nazi movement. Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926. Hitler began the dictation of the book while imprisoned for the Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923. Though Hitler received many visitors earlier on, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. Once released from prison on 20 December 1924, Hitler moved back to the picturesque mountainous climes of the Obersalzberg. While he was in power (1933–45), Mein Kampf became available in three common editions: the first, the Volksausgabe or People's Edition; the Hochzeitsausgabe, or Wedding Edition, and; the Tornister-Ausgabe. A special edition, known as the Jubiläumsausgabe, or Anniversary Issue, was published in 1939 in honor of Hitler's 50th birthday. The book could also be purchased as a two-volume set during Hitler's reign, and was available in soft cover and hardcover. Mein Kampf is known as a work of Nazi propaganda that promotes nationalism, militarism, anticommunism, and anti-Semitism, and today is censored in many countries.

Prisoners interned by the Nazis in Ebensee concentration camp, a subcamp of Mauthausen-Gusen in Ebensee, Austria, are liberated by the United States Army. The prisoners are malnourished, incredibly pale and show signs of abuse and mistreatment. The camp was reputedly used for medical experiments by Aribert Heim, known as "Doctor Death".

Selected quote

Benito Mussolini
The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide; he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, life which should be high and full, lived for oneself, but not above all for others -- those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after.
