However, she was greatly disappointed in the peace that followed when she did not get the territories that she had been promised by the allies when she joined the war. The war had left Italy in many problems and there was chaos in Italy. Benito Mussolini and his Fascist party took advantage of the chaotic situation in Italy to rise to popularity. In this unit we shall look at the rise of Mussolini and the Fascist party to power in Italy. We shall discuss the main features of Fascism and outline Mussolini’s steps to power. We shall also evaluate Mussolini’s domestic reforms and examine his foreign policies and how they benefited the Italians. Objectives After going through this unit, you should be able to: • Explain the concept of Fascism • Outline the inter war problems that led to the rise of dictatorship in Italy • Describe the domestic and foreign policies of Mussolini 1 Key words As you study this unit you would come across new words such as dictator, totalitarianism, Duce, fascism, democracy and propaganda whose meanings are as follows: • Dictator - a ruler who has complete power over a country. • Totalitarianism - a dictatorial system of government in which the leader or ruling political party is in charge of everything in the state and does not allow other parties to exist. • Duce - the Italian term referring to a Fascist leader. • Fascism - a unique sort of capitalism, in which all industrial and political activities are controlled by the state. • Democracy - a form of government for the people, by the people and of the people. The government is elected by the people to represent their wishes. • Propaganda - a political lie. Time You are supposed to spend 10 hours on this unit. Study skills You are advised to read thoroughly every aspect on this unit and attempt all activities given. Refer to provided answers upon challenges and research further on the topic. 13.1 Problems faced by Italy after World War 1 We hope you noted that Italy was involved in the First World War from your previous topics in this module. You may also have noted that Italy faced a lot of problems after the First World War and these are classified into political, social and economic problems. Now let us focus on the problems Italy faced after the First World War in detail. 2 13.1.1 Political problems Italy faced after the First World War Political problems refer to the problems which have to do with the system of government. Let us discuss them in detail. There were too many political parties in Italy and this caused confusion in parliament for example Fascist party, Communist party, Socialists, Liberals, Catholic Centre Party and Nationalists. Brigandage and lawlessness also characterised life of Italians. In Italy there were also strikes which were rampant. Demonstrations continued and weak governments were formed. There was also fear of communism, so the government depended on the Fascists to end this. The country was also characterised by misunderstandings between the church and the state. Italy also experienced high rate of disorder and the government was unpopular because the country had gained very little territories after the First World War. Italians also had disgruntlements over the Treaty of Versailles. There were also too many changes of governments and prime ministers. Existence of many governments led to the formation of private armies by political parties for example black shirts, red shirts, and blue shirts. Italy was also characterised by street fights especially during elections. 13.1.2 Social problems Now let us focus on the problems that had to do with the way people lived and interacted, that is social problems. There was extreme poverty and hunger in Italy. Another social problem was of starvation which affected many Italians. In Italy there were also fierce riots due to hunger especially in the south. Land seizure by the peasants in the south was another problem burdening the Italians. Low living standards and shortage of land was another challenge faced by Italy. There was brigandage in most parts of Italy. Many Italian people were illiterate-78%. Prostitution was rampant in towns like Milan and Rome. There was an outbreak of diseases for example TB, malaria, typhoid and influenza. Many women were widows and also many children were orphaned .There were also poor medical facilities. Street fights were also witnessed during elections for example between the Black shirts (fascists) and Redshirts (communists). 3 13.1.3 Economic problems Now let us focus on the economic problems Italy faced after the First World War. Economy refers to the way a state runs its finances and investments. Therefore economic problems refer to problems associated with the state’s finances and investments. There were strikes and high rate of unemployment .Italians also faced high rate of inflation as the lira lost its value leading to rise of prices.

  • Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization
    ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective.

    In the Shadow of the Family Tree: Narrating Family History in Väterliteratur and the Generationenromane Jennifer S. Cameron Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 2012 Jennifer S. Cameron All rights reserved ABSTRACT In the Shadow of the Family Tree: Narrating Family History in Väterliteratur and the Generationenromane Jennifer S. Cameron While debates over the memory and representation of the National Socialist past have dominated public discourse in Germany over the last forty years, the literary scene has been the site of experimentation with the genre of the autobiography, as authors developed new strategies for exploring their own relationship to the past through narrative. Since the late 1970s, this experimentation has yielded a series of autobiographical novels which focus not only on the authors’ own lives, but on the lives and experiences of their family members, particularly those who lived during the NS era. In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between two waves of this autobiographical writing, the Väterliteratur novels of the late 1970s and 1980s in the BRD, and the current trend of multi-generational family narratives which began in the late 1990s. In a prelude and three chapters, this dissertation traces the trajectory from Väterliteratur to the Generationenromane through readings of Bernward Vesper’s Die Reise (1977), Christoph Meckel’s Suchbild. Über meinen Vater (1980), Ruth Rehmann’s Der Mann auf der Kanzel (1979), Uwe Timm’s Am Beispiel meines Bruders (2003), Stephan Wackwitz’s Ein unsichtbares Land (2003), Monika Maron’s Pawels Briefe (1999), and Barbara Honigmann’s Ein Kapitel aus meinem Leben (2004).

  • The Politics of the Contemporary Alternate History Novel
    What Almost Was 63 What Almost Was: The Politics of the Contemporary Alternate History Novel Matthew Schneider-Mayerson Between August of 1995 and July of 1996, Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives Newt Gingrich published two books. One, To Renew America, a folksy Republican polemic cobbled together from Gingrich’s speeches, served as a sequel to Contract with America, the blueprint of the conservative movement that assumed control of Congress in 1995.1 The other was 1945, coauthored with William R. Forstchen, a novel set in an alternate universe.2 In 1945’s divergent timeline, Germany does not declare war on the United States, the Soviet Union is split into fragments, and the United States and Germany have settled into a cold war. Nazi soldiers parachute into the United States to a capture a nuclear facility in Tennessee, but posses of arms-bearing American veterans successfully defend their country. 1945 was representative of the flourishing genre of alternate history novels in all but two ways: an author’s celebrity and its media exposure. Due to Gingrich’s status as the public leader of the conservative renaissance of the mid-1990s, 1945 was widely reviewed in mainstream publications. Treated as a curiosity and ridiculed for its poor literary quality, very few reviewers noted the libertarian themes in 1945, and even fewer placed it in the context of an inchoate literary genre.3 1995 can be considered the birth year of the alternate history novel as a genre. As a conceptual category, the counterfactual, as historians term their what-if narratives, has been pursued in print since classical Greece, if not earlier.

  • 276 the Little Czech and the Great Czech Nation Ladislav Holy
    The differences in the form of the socialist system, in the way in which it ended and in the process of political and economic transformation which is now taking 3 place in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, are the result of the different historical development of these countries and of the different cultures which are the product of this development. The aim of this book is to investigate the specific ways The Little Czech and The Great Czech Nation in which Czech cultural meanings and in particular the notion of Czech identity and Ladislav Holy the accompanying nationalist sentiments have affected life under communism, its overthrow, and the political and economic transformation of post-communist society. Introduction Culture and politics; discourse and text Most of the sociological and political-scientific writing on Central and Eastern In discussing the role of cultural meanings in the post-communist transformation Europe is still grounded in a sociological universalism (Kapferer 1988: 3) which treats of Czech society, I make a distinction between culture and discourse. Following the this region as a politically, economically, and, to some extent, even culturally line of thought developed, among others, by Geertz (1973), Schneider (1976, 1980), undifferentiated whole. Various Central and Eastern European countries up to 1989 and Spiro (1982), I understand culture as a system of collectively held notions, beliefs, had essentially the same political and economic system and at present are undergoing premises, ideas, dispositions, and understandings, This system is not something that what is again seen as essentially the same kind of transformation from a totalitarian is locked in people‟s heads but is embodied in shared symbols which are the main political system to democratic pluralism and from a centrally planned to a market vehicles through which people communicate their worldview, value orientations, and economy.

  • Joseph A.Schumpeter
    CAPITALISM, SOCIALISM AND DEMOCRACY When Joseph Schumpeter’s book first appeared, the New English Weekly predicted that ‘for the next five to ten years it will certainly remain a work with which no one who professes any degree of information on sociology or economics can afford to be unacquainted’. The prophecy has been justified, but how much more fully than its maker anticipated. A generation later, it is more widely read than when it first appeared. The mixed economy has become established in North America as well as in the countries of the European Community, while in the socialist countries there has been a move towards various forms of decentralisation and of a market economy. In this new context the issues that Schumpeter raises are still matters of lively debate.

  • Fascist Art and the Nazi Regime: the Use of Art to Enflame War”
    “Fascist Art and the Nazi Regime: The Use of Art to Enflame War” A thesis submitted to the Art History Faculty of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning University of Cincinnati In candidacy for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Stephanie Petcavage April 2016 Thesis Chair: Dr. Todd Herzog Abstract For centuries, political leaders have used propaganda to promote ideology and acts of military aggression. In his studies of this concept, Walter Benjamin, in his aestheticization theory of historical experience and sense perception focused on Nazi Germany’s use of aesthetics politics and propaganda to redefine the political as the autonomous realm of absolute power over ethical norms. The Third Reich manipulated Nazi culture and aesthetics to create a backdrop for political ideology and the coordination of all cultural expressions during the Nazi period. Under Hitler and the realm of the Third Reich, fascist politics infiltrated the arts and film industry tapping its access to the masses. Two events most indicative of the exploitation of art for propaganda use were the Great German Art Exhibition and the syndication of Leni Riefenstahl’s film Triumph of the Will. Discussed in this paper is Hitler’s use of art as a tool to influence the populace and recruit support for his cause. Using a qualitative method and a sociological case study research design supported by a critical literature review and the conceptual framework of Benjamin’s theory of Aestheticization of Politics under German Fascism, I examine how Nazi propaganda, using the arts of the time selectively apportions acceptance of its social members.
