RT Documentary 1,47 млн подписчиков The film “Fascism: A History” by RT Documentary explores the nature of this vicious ideology and how it’s been tainting the societies long 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.
So, on the brink of WWII, the thirst for power and new acquisitions was just as great, and some of the allied forces wanted to kill several birds with one stone. Though the resolution of the European Parliament dated September 19, 2019, claimed it was Germany and the Soviet Union who paved the way for WWII. Secret files reveal Great Britain made agreements with Hitler and Nazi Germany in 1933, 1935 and 1938, while the US lent the Wehrmacht economic support. Both countries secretly negotiated a separate peace with Germany in 1945.
This was 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.
