RT: A History of European Fascism and WW2

From RT, 2 Sept 2021. This RT Documentary explores the nature of this vicious ideology and how it’s been tainting the societies before and after Hitler. Fascism is often paired with Hitler and WWII, but in reality, it’s been around for a long time. The idea of a “superior” race or people taking over the “inferior” one was the primary driving force for centuries of European colonialism. By the early 20th century, most of the world was divided between a few colonial nations. The UK had colonies almost all over the world, and France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Germany had their fair share of colonies. The proclaimed intention to bring civilisation, wealth, and, later, democracy was just a ruse to get to the countries’ resources and occupy the territory. There was also an attempt to use the Soviet Union to weaken or defeat the Nazis and, once done, annihilate the Soviets. Formed in 1949, NATO carried on with the colonialist rhetoric and took over more countries under the auspices of bringing democracy there.
