History: Fascism and the Troubled 1930s
The course will examine the origins of Fascism and National Socialism against the backdrop of post war turmoil in Italy and Germany.

We will consider the effects of the economic crisis in the democratic countries, USA, Britain and France. Finally, we will consider how the radicalisation of economies and politics impacted on international relations culminating in the outbreak of a second European war in 1939.
