      Some inspiration, but only incidentally. Fascism was really Italians wanting to be Romans again. This is why most of the key ideas of Fascism were written out in Latin, or used Latin terms.

        i don’t think its that incidental when goebbels himself said nazism was modeled after it.

          Nazism is a form of Fascism, but Fascism is not Nazism.

          Italy fell to Fascism a full decade before Germany did.
