AP European History
Unit 8 – 20th Century Global Conflicts
Topic 8.6
From a Marxist perspective, why would industrialists support fascist movements in early-20th century Europe?
To protect their capitalist interests from rising socialist movements and working-class unrest.
Industrialists believed that only fascism could tackle population overgrowth issues effectively through war or aggressive policies like forced sterilization programs.
Because they shared personal relationships with leading fascists figures, which made them partial towards supporting these movements.
They saw fascism as more conducive to technological advancement than other political ideologies were at that time.
