Differences From Other Authoritarian Regimes
There is some debate over how the regime relates to other authoritarian regimes of the era: those of Franco's Spain, Italian Fascism, and German Nazism. Richard Clogg argues that while the regime had "superficial trappings of Fascism" and Metaxas "did not disguise his admiration for Nazism and Fascism", it is "more correctly categorised as paternalist-authoritarian rather than fascist". Some of the main and important differences of Metaxas' regime include:
- The anti-imperialist speech of the regime.
- The pro-Jewish stance of Metaxas.
- The emphasis on the progress of the Greek Arts and Culture (as a plan for the "Third Hellenic Civilization").

Famous quotes containing the word differences:
“Toddlerhood resembles adolescence because of the rapidity of physical growth and because of the impulse to break loose of parental boundaries. At both ages, the struggle for independence exists hand in hand with the often hidden wish to be contained and protected while striving to move forward in the world. How parents and toddlers negotiate their differences sets the stage for their ability to remain partners during childhood and through the rebellions of the teenage years.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
