Interwar Primary Source Assignment
The Nazi party platform of 1920 and Benito Mussolini’s encyclopedia entry on
fascism have many underlying similarities and differences. The Nazi party platform of
1920 lists twenty-three concepts that the members of the Nazi party must believe in and
follow. Benito Mussolini’s encyclopedia entry attempts to define “fascism” and continues
on into more of a persuasive piece of writing that encourages the promotion fascism.
Both pieces are very one-sided and critique previous government policies and ideas,
but they also differ due to the extent of racism within both pieces.
