Japan is interesting isn't it? Achieved very similar goals while not having a singular charismatic leader. Emperor with divine connections, sure, but he was not calling the shots...and yet this is a very key piece of information...
The 2nd propaganda link is a really great example. Well done Camile, as usual.

A. The leaders in Italy were Benito Mussolini, with the help of a private army of disillusioned veterans and jobless men known as the Black Shirts. The gained power by promising an alternative to communism and ineffective democratic rule. They then destroyed socialist newspapers and attacked striking workers, while big businesses supported them. The ultimate goal was to end the bickering party-based politics, and the maintenance of the traditional social order. The propaganda used was their symbol of the fasces. Beliefs fascists held were conceiving the State as an absolute, abolishing democracy and labor unions, they embraced Catholic culture, and were very nationalistic.
B. The human leader of the Nazis in Germany was Adolf Hitler. He assumed power through growing public support. Once he became chancellor of the German government, he moved to consolidate Nazi control of Germany and outlawed all other political parties. They used plenty of propaganda, including using Jews as scapegoats. Jews were the symbol of urban, capitalist, and foreign influences which undermined German culture, and the Nazis were building their nationalism. The Nazis were antifeminists and resentful towards liberating changes to European women. Hitler wanted to limit women largely and promoted motherhood to increase birthrates.
C. Joseph Stalin as the leader of Communism. He was a political activist who came to power after the Russian Civil War (1917-1920). The goal of communism was to create a classless and stateless society. Propaganda was used for political warfare and promoting the overall communist government. They rooted from Marxist ideas, wanted to eradicate the old bourgeois, abolition of private property and monopolies, etc.
D. The most prominent leaders were Eugene V. Debs, Norman Thomas and Michael Harrington. This government came to power by, "the gradualist form of socialism promoted by the British Fabian Society and Eduard Bernstein's evolutionary socialism in Germany influenced the development of democratic socialism. Democratic socialism is what most socialists understand by the concept of socialism." The goal was to "emphasis on workers' self-management and democratic control of economic institutions within a market socialist economy or some form of a decentralised planned socialist economy." Propaganda was used and successful as the countries using it remained high powers.
E. This was ran by leaders of major parties, rather than bureaucrats or imperial favorites. They assumed power through Japan's exports fell, and the movement emerged. They shared an extreme nationalism, hostility to parliamentary democracy, a commitment to elite leadership focuses around an exalted emperor, and dedication to foreign expansion. They had a process of resocialization that brought the population to recognize and renounce their errors. There was censorship to limit free expression, a strong military presence, and was less repressive and more of a pluralistic society than of those European states.

Great job Bre, crushing some history during this closure. I have some thoughts I am going to post for everyone regarding Britain and France, so check that out when I do.

• 1. Who was/were the human leader(s)?
a) Benito Mussolini was the leader of Fascist Italy.
b) Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany.
c) Joseph Stalin was the leader of Communist USSR.
d) Winston Churchill was the leader of Great Britain and George VI was the king during WWII. Franklin Roosevelt was the leader of the USA. Charles de Gaulle was the leader of France.
e) Hideki Tojo was the prime minister leader of Japan and Hirohito was the emperor of Japan.
• 2. How did they assumed power?
a) Benito Mussolini assumed power by taking advantage of the political chaos in Italy after World War I. Benito Mussolini promised to stabilize Italy and was named Prime Minister in 1922. By 1925 Mussolini took full power and control by making himself the dictator of Italy.
b) Adolf Hitler slowly rose to power as the Nazi party gained more and more power in the German government. Adolf Hitler was finally elected Chancellor of Germany in 1932. By 1933 Hitler was granted “temporary” power as dictator and he eventually took full control of Germany.
c) Joseph Stalin was given the leader of the Communist party by the former leader Lenin after his death. Stalin used terror and brute force to become and stay the dictator of the USSR.
d) Franklin Roosevelt was elected President of the USA in 1932 when he defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932. FDR had 4 terms as president. Winston Churchill was appointed Prime Minister in 1940 when England was on the verge of being invaded. King George VI became king when his father George V died. Charles de Gaulle was elected as leader of France and maintained his leadership of Free France when part of France was occupied.
e) Hirohito inherited the emperor position out of tradition when his father died. Hideki Tojo was the military leader for Japan during the 1930s and finally was appointed prime minister in 1940.
• 3. What was the political party / ideology's ultimate goal?
a) Fascism’s goal was to rule by totalitarian and suppressive means. Fascism believes in dictatorship, suppression of any opposition, and a strict form of control for the government and economy.
b) Nazisim’s goal was similar to Fascism in the way the dictatorship and suppression to opposition was part of the government. The government and economy were controlled by a totalitarian system. The big difference was Nazism founded and promoted racism and race superiority. The system was anti-Semitic and promoted to the people that it was a government for the people and represented the people of Germany.
c) The goal of Communism was to create a social, economic and political fairness to all people living in Russia. It was the goal that all people had the same rights and opportunities especially since the Czars were so oppressive. As time passed, Communism became a dictatorship and only those in power benefited while the majority of people lived in fear and poverty.
d) The goal of democratic socialism was to maintain capitalism but the government would help and create programs for people who do not have the same social, economic or political opportunities. The goal of social justice is to make sure all citizens have some chance for success in a capitalist system. The leaders are chosen based on elections.
e) The goal of Japan’s authoritarian system was that the emperor of Japan was to act as a symbol for Japan. It is very similar to the King or Queen of England since the monarchy doesn’t make the laws, but a governing body does. The emperor can give advice and act as a political consultant. The prime minister is the person in charge of the laws and military. This system relies on the prime minister but ultimately the emperor has the final say in all important decisions.
• 4. Was propaganda used on their population? Was it successful? Have a cool example? [POV practice]
a) Propaganda used in Fascism was Mussolini’s essay “The Doctrine of Fascism”. It was the “bible” for Italians during that time. Mussolini’s ideas were included in songs and slogans during this time. He was looked at as the person to restore the Roman Empire. Posters were used to get the Fascist message to the people. It was successful because Mussolini rose to power quickly. It ultimately backfired on him because after Italy’s defeat in WWII, he was killed by firing squad and left in Milan so that Italians could abuse and spit at his corpse. An example was the official anthem for Italy during WWII was “Giovinezza” which means youth. The interesting fact is that you can be arrested for singing this song in Italy today.
b) Propaganda used in Nazism was Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf”. The book was Hitler’s manifesto about why anti-Semitism was needed and his ideas for changing the politics of Germany. The Nazis used many posters and essays to promote Nazism. It was very effective because the Nazi party in the

the 1920s became more and more powerful with more voters and followers. By the early 1930s it was the dominant political party in Germany and the people of Germany wanted Hitler to take control of the country. Hitler even had Joseph Goebbels as his primary propaganda source to get the word out to the people and destroy any written works that conflicted with Nazi beliefs (book burning). The interesting fact is that Hitler aimed to appeal to the youth of Germany since they were the most impressionable and suffered during the post WWI era in Germany.
c) The Soviets used the Glavilt as the main way to censor and eliminate materials that do not support the Communist way of life. Stalin would use terror and force to make sure people followed the censored rules in Russia. The USSR made schools for the youth to help shape their beliefs at an early age. This was very effective because many people did not go against Stalin’s reign of terror. There was no threat of a revolt and many Russians felt this was the best way government could help them. As years passed and with Stalin’s death, the Communist people began to slowly change and want more freedoms which eventually happened after the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989. What was interesting is that many of the Soviet posters showed people with the hammer and sickle. I felt it showed unity and how the working man was represented in this type of government.
d) The United States used a lot of propaganda during the 1940s. There were posters, movies, comic books, cartoons and even patriotic posters and flyers. The United States promoted to join the fight and join the Army. They even promoted women to join in the fight at home and work in the factories to make supplies needed for the war. Poster to buy war bonds was another method to have Americans join the cause. Cartoons with Popeye, Looney Tunes and Disney characters were made to make fun of Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese and promote patriotic values for America. Comic books like Captain America were created to promote patriotism among young kids. Anti-Japanese propaganda showed racist images of Japanese people to make them villains. American propaganda worked very well because many American not only supported the war but helped in many different ways to ensure we won the war. Most of the French and British propaganda was aimed to get people to join the war or work in the factories to support the war. It was similar to American propaganda by also insulting the Japanese, Germans, and Italians by making racist cartoons or posters. An interesting fact is that Disney created not only cartoons for each branch of the government but also some anti-Japanese and German cartoons that Disney censors along with some of their other racist cartoons. Disney tries to pretend these cartoons never happened.
e) In Japan, they used a lot of posters to also make the Americans look like villains and assure the countries that Japan occupied that Japan’s way was the better way and Americans were the invaders. The propaganda was to try to destroy the American spirit and hide the claims that Japan was creating atrocities. The Japanese used books, newspapers, and magazines to also get out their message. An interesting fact I found was that Japan wrote books and articles about how they were already victorious in the war and how the war was already won.
• 5. Create a list of virtues, held beliefs, and principles associated with each ideology.
a) Fascism believes in one party dictatorship, censorship, nationalism, social elitism, military force, and the call to volunteer for your country
b) Nazism believes in one leader (Fuhrer), all Germans unite as one, Anti-Semitic and Anti-Communist, racist because anyone of the Aryan race is superior to other races, and Germany’s economy should not rely on other countries.
c) Communism believes in a stateless and classless society. The worker is the main focus of the economy, not the ruling class. Common ownership of everything to promote fairness. Any surplus or extra is distributed to the people.
d) Democratic socialism believes in electing leaders but putting programs in place that can help those people that don’t have equity and opportunity that others have. The goal is to meet the needs of the many so that only a few don’t profit from capitalism. England is the one exception since they have a monarch in addition to their Parliament. Parliament makes most of the decisions and the monarch is consulted.
e) Japan’s authoritarian system believes in giving the emperor his position as a birth rite shares power with an elected body such as a prime minister. The emperor’s power is limited to avoid a dictatorship.

a) Fascism (Italy):
1. Mussolini
2. with the help of a private army and the black ships Mussolini managed to come to power in 1922.
Fascism
italian-parliament-votes-to-toughen-laws-idUSKCN1BN2T5 - beside the fact that I don’t know what the poster says because I don’t know Italian, on the contrary, I know what its indicating.
This poster provides an image of Mussolini in front of what seems to be a weapon. Which indicates how Mussolini used nationalism to spread militarism. Emphasizing How the only way for something to get done is by force.
5.
nationalism (including racial nationalism),
militarism
Marxism
b) Nazism (Germany):
1. Hitler
Hitler rose to power through the Nazi Party, an organization he established after returning as a wounded veteran from the annihilating trench warfare of World War I.
To promote Nationalism, and Nazism.
stock-photo-1930s-nazi-germany-propaganda-poster-postcard-dem-fhrer-die-jugend-173406805.html - This indicates how many supporters of Hitler portray him as a role model as well as someone with elite power. This illustrates how young ones are expected in a way to carry on the legacy of hitler and to continue spreading nationalism and his beliefs.
5.
racism
violence
strict/ discipline
Nationalism
anti-semitism
c) Communism (USSR):
1. Lenin and stalin
seized power in the Russian Republic during a coup known as the October Revolution (aka the Russian revolution)
propaganda in the Soviet Union was extensively based on the Marxist-Leninist ideology, which was used to promote communism. Propaganda was one way in which the Soviet Union manipulated/ influenced its people.
5.
Marxism
Anti-imperialism
communism
d) Democratic Socialism (France and Britain / USA):
Eugene V. Debs
Through his presidential candidacies as well as his work with labor movements, Debs eventually became one of the best-known socialists living in the United States.
3.Democratic Socialism
propaganda promoted the assembly of the American army. As well as to motivating citizens to join for the greater good. American propaganda would use fictional figure to ridicule opposing nations, they’d also use female figures, emphasizing how women played a major component or part in the United States Victory in WWII. For example, women were the ones building the atomic bombs. that just indicates how dangerous was the role they played.
5.
Feminism
Employment
Participation in military
Replacement in roles (women replacing mens roles and/ or jobs)> meaning they weren’t strict over gender roles.
White supremacy over Japanese. (Concentration camps in the U.S.)

e) Authoritarian of the Radical Right (Japanese):
Hirohito (grandson of emperor Meiji)
2. He took over at a time of rising democratic sentiment, but his country soon turned toward ultra-nationalism and militarism.
3. absolute monarchy. Hirohito was the head of state under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan during Japan's imperial expansion, militarization, and involvement in World War II.
axis_propaganda_depicting_a_japanese_samurai
This illustrates how Japan during its alliance with Nazi German in WWII, viewed its army of samurais as a form of supremacy by how they’re depicted in the illustration in terms of size. The samurai is seen destroying both British and American ships symbolizing sovereignty and dominance. One thing I find fascinating or odd is how their samurais are of japans old traditions or old ways, even after modernizing. I mean look at the sword, why bring a knife to a gun fight.
5.
Extreme patriotism
Rasism
militarism

Fascism
1. Benito Mussolini
2. Italy’s military sustained extremely high casualties, and suffered heavy losses in WW1. Many people and especially soldiers were displeased with the political class’ handling of the war. Politicians were widely seen as corrupt and ineffective, and many held responsible for the country's shortcomings during the war. The end of the war also led to an economic crisis in Italy as unemployment was widespread, as was hunger. This undermined the Italian political class and the King, Victor Emanuelle III. Mussolini's appeal and the weakness of the government meant that Mussolini and his Fascist party were rapidly able to gain support and control. The Black Shirt Squads successfully used violence to intimidate, torture or even kill those who opposed the will of Mussolini. In 1921, The Black Shirts marched on Rome and Mussolini declared himself as the only man capable of restoring order in the midst of political chaos. King Victor Emmanuel III dissolved Parliament amidst growing violence and Mussolini was given authority as Prime Minister in 1922. Mussolini gradually dismantled the institutions of democratic government and in 1925 made himself dictator.
3. Fascism’s goal was a forcibly monolithic nation an autocratic leader, as a totalitarian one-party state.
4. The Fascist regime made heavy use of propaganda, including pageantry and rhetoric.
5. - survival of the fittest
- warfare is noble
- extreme nationalism
- racial purity and superiority
- organized violence

Nazism
1. Adolf Hitler
2. Hitler, being a powerful speaker, was voted chairman of the Nazi party in 1921, which originally aimed to unite the interests of the working class with German nationalism. The German people were in shock after losing World War I. They faced food and coal shortages, and ended the war with millions killed and wounded. Hitler had advantages leading to his appeal such as an economic depression and the country's hatred of the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany in 1933 following a series of electoral victories by the Nazi Party.
3. Hitler’s goals were to transform Germany into a war state intent on conquering Europe for the benefit of the Aryan race. Hitler believed the German race to be the superior race, and called the German race ‘Aryan’. Hitler wanted to rid Germany of the disabled, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti, and other minorities that did not fit in to his idea of an Aryan race.
4. Hitler was considered a magician of illusion, convincing his people to believe in this false reality through propaganda using all media. The propaganda used by the German Nazi Party before and during Adolf Hitler's leadership was crucial for acquiring power, and capitalizing on the feelings of the German people. Once in power, Hitler created a Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda to shape German public opinion. https://images.app.goo.gl/QwLezkUueV96e6Zv5 In this image of Nazi propaganda stands a stereotyped Jew as he has black hat, a beard and a downward turned nose, standing behind the flags of the Allied Powers; the British, the American, and the Soviet. This propaganda is suggesting that the Jews are engaged in a conspiracy, controlling the Allied Powers behind the scenes and plotting for world domination, therefore encouraging German hate towards the Jewish people, portraying them as the enemy. The caption reads, "Behind the enemy powers: the Jew." Circa 1942.
5. - totalitarianism
- nationalism
- expansionism
- anti-semitism
- social darwinism

Communism
1. Joseph Stalin
2. Stalin’s position as secretary general of the party’s Central Committee from 1922 until his death, is what provided the power base for his dictatorship.
3. Stalin’s two main goals were rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture. Stalin launched a series of five-year plans intended to transform the Soviet Union into an industrial superpower. However, the political philosophy of communism in the Soviet Union was Marxism, which seeks to establish a socialist state, a classless social system with common ownership of the means of production. It theoretically aims for full social and economic equality of all members of society. Leninism, however, says it should be a dictatorship, and is considered a step in order to transition to socialism. This is how the transition from capitalism to socialism becomes communism, which becomes corrupt under a single dictator.
4. Communist propaganda in the Soviet Union was extensively based on the Marxist–Leninist ideology to promote the Communist Party line. Stalin used propaganda such as Pictures, Statues, Praise and applause, places named after him.
5. - marxism-leninism
- censorship

Democratic Socialism
1. Winston Churchill- Prime Minister of Great Britain
Franklin D. Roosevelt- President of the U.S

2. of his Conservative Party, and in May, formally lost the confidence of the House of Commons as Hitler invaded Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and France. Churchill, who was known for his military leadership ability, was appointed British prime minister in his place.

Campaigning on the failures of the Hoover administration, FDR was elected president of the United States in 1932.

3. Democratic Socialists aim to create a socialist, anti-capitalism society in which there are no social classes and all are equal, that maintains a democratic government without aspects of an authoritarian system.

4. During World War II, the United States founded the Office of War Information (OWI) with the mission to spread political propaganda. The office spread through radio, film, and most importantly through posters. These posters encouraged Americans to ration their food, buy war bonds, and perform everyday tasks in support of the war effort.

https://images.app.goo.gl/FQoFgyQjxB8dRkCPA

All year I’ve been wondering what this poster meant. The 1992, Someone Talked! American propaganda poster portrays a distressed American soldier drowning, urging the American people not to talk. During WWII, there was concern about spies infiltrating American society in order to gain details about the navy’s plans and operations, therefore causing “loose lips to sink ships.”

5. political democracy within a socially owned economy
- anti-capitalism
- workers' self-management
- strong government

E. Authoritarian of the Radical Right
1. Hideki Tojo
2. In July of 1940, Tojo was made minister of war and soon clashed with the Prime Minister, Prince Fumimaro Konoye, who had been fighting to reform his government by demilitarizing its politics. In October, Konoye resigned because of increasing tension with Tojo, who succeeded as prime minister while holding on to his offices of army minister and war minister, and assuming the offices of minister of commerce and of industry as well.
3. Tojo was a strong supporter of the Tripartite Pact between Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy, and wanted to create a dictatorship like that of Hitler. Tojo also believed firmly in a strong role for Japan in world affairs, demonstrated by his authorization of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
4. Japan used propaganda to proclaim that they were racially superior to Koreans, Chinese, and other Asian peoples. The Japanese also made a wartime film about the Opium Wars between Great Britain and Qing China, in attempt to remind the people of British atrocities.

5. conservatism
- shintoism
- nationalism
- anti-western

a.) Fascism (Italy)
1.) Benito Mussolini
2.) He promised to fix their country and therefore was elected. He then became prime minister where he named himself leader. Like Napaleon.
3.) Their goal was to accomplish Mare Nostrum, which meant to restore Italy into Rome. They wanted the glory back. They also wanted to prevent socialism.
4.) Yes, they used propaganda and it was successful.
5.) They did not value the individual.
Blind loyalty to the state.
