Fascism is a political ideology that developed after World War I in Italy and Germany. Fascism is characterized by strong nationalism, an extreme level of authoritarianism, corporatism, militarization and hostility towards both liberalism and Marxism.
Fascism involves a high degree of nationalism, which is a strong feeling of patriotism to your state and its people. The nationalism of fascism is so strong that it often involves feelings of national and racial superiority over others. An example of this being the Holocaust spanning from 1939-1945.
Fascist governments employ an extreme form of authoritarianism. Authoritarian governments have power concentrated in one small group of people or even one person. Citizens often are not permitted to form opposition parties, and free elections are scarcely held. Propaganda and secret policy are frequently used 'tools' of state. Authoritarian leaders usually are not subject to the rule of law - the laws don't apply to them.
