History
The fascist style of architecture reflects the values of Fascism as a political ideology that developed in the early 20th century after World War I. The philosophy is defined by a strong nationalist people governed by a totalitarian government. With regards to morals, a fascist society views the nation and race as supreme, and considers them more important than the individual. A fascist nation purges all cultures and ideas not descending from the history of the national culture. The vision of a strong, unified, and economically stable nation seemed appealing to western Europe after the physical and economic destruction after World War I, which contributed to the rise of fascism and corporatism.
