Description

We'll examine the development of fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain in the 1920's-1930's and identify the steps taken to establish fascist governments. We'll then look at current fascist states like Hungary, Poland, Russia, Belarus, Brazil, Israel?, India? and others.  We'll also look for the warning signs, particularly in the United States, and possibly New Zealand?

Many in Germany did not know what they were getting into by supporting Hitler. Education is key, let’s not be in a position of not knowing.

Charles Drace is an author, public speaker and a student of history with a particular interest in how cycles of history seem to rhyme.
