ITALIAN FASCISM ...
~ sources

ITALY
Italy had emerged from World War I in a poor and weakened condition. An unpopular and costly conflict had been borne by an underdeveloped country. Post-war there was inflation, massive debts and an extended depression. By 1920 the economy was in a massive convulsion - mass unemployment, food shortages, strikes, etc. This conflagration of viewpoints can be exemplified by the "Two Red Years".


Italian Fascism was rooted in Italian nationalism and the desire to restore and expand Italian territories, which Italian Fascists deemed necessary for a nation to assert its superiority and strength and to avoid succumbing to decay


Fascism was born in Italy and subsequently, across Europe several movements which took influence from it emerged. Purists assert that the term "Fascism" should only be used in relation to the National Fascist Party under Benito Mussolini in Italy.


In October 1922, Mussolini led the Fascists on a march on Rome, and King Emmanuel III, who had little faith in Italy's parliamentary government, asked Mussolini to form a new government. Initially, Mussolini, who was appointed prime minister at the head of a three-member Fascist cabinet, cooperated with the Italian parliament, but aided by his brutal police organization he soon became the effective dictator of Italy.





Under this widely accepted philosophy, the Allies could not grant Italy the territory it had been promised because it was not theirs to give, since most of the territory promised to Italy was populated by non-Italians. The Italian Prime Minister Vittorio Orlando returned from the Paris Peace Conference at the close of World War Iembarrassed and empty-handed, with nothing to show for the sacrifices of the Italian war effort.

WHAT ARE THE LINKS BETWEEN THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES AND WW2 ?


There are many links that connect the Treaty of Versailles and the cause of The world war 2.
Based on a source- (http://lemoyne.edu/Portals/11/pdf_content/library/101paper.pdf),  it says that “ The Treaty of Versailles is the main cause of World War 2”


One of the links that connect the Treaty of Versailles and the start of the World War 2 is that the treaty put restrictions on Germany’s military. The production of Germany’s military weapon has been reduced because Germany’s military are not allowed to be more than one hundred thousand men and a navy of fifteen thousand. Under the treaty, Germany wasn’t allowed to use an air force, armored cars, tanks, heavy guns, submarines and dirigibles. This was caused after the world war one as one of the agreements signed from both sides - the triple entente and Germany.


Secondly, the league of nations did nothing to stop Hitler, who is rising and gaining all the trust of the Germans.


Third, the treaty of Versailles provisions harmed each of the three things that Germany’s economy lied on  which are the overseas commerce and trade, iron and coal, and its transport and tariff system. these things were blocked by the Treaty of Versailles and so, Germany has no other things to rely on to support the country’s economy. these things affect


Fourth, the treaty of Versailles also weakened Germany’s government which cause many troubles at the end. this cause the rise of fascism and Hitler in Germany. all of these factors conclude up the cause of the world war 2.

Fifth, The treaty of Versailles put germany on depression mode allowing Hitler to come to power which led to the WORLD WAR 2.

THE BIG THREE

the big three are the representatives from different countries that joined the negotiation of making the decision of the Treaty of Versailles. however these three people play a major role on the decision making since these person took most of the decisions. Nobody from Germany and Austria was allowed to join in.

the representatives :

Woodrow wilson = american president
David Lloyd George = the british prime minister
Georges Clemenceau = the france prime minister


they all have different opinion on what to be received by germany

USA
as the USA's representative Woodrow Wilson suggested that if they will punish Germany, it will not be good, since they will only get revenge in the future. Woodrow Wilson also suggested 14 points that in his view would bring up the world peace

FRANCE
since the decision has been represented by Georges Clemenceau, he said that he wanted germany to be punished and brought down to its knees for making this terrible war.

BRITAIN
David Lloyd has two view on germany . since he is a politician, he could not be soft on germany since he wanted to be elected by the british, but then in his own opinion, he actually wanted Germany to be left alone for it is the only country in central europe that can stop the spread of communism
