A fascist government is led by a dictator who reduces or takes away citizens’ rights and threatens or punishes those who disagree.
Fascism refers to a type of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, consisting on dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which was prominent in early 20th-century Europe.
The first fascist movements arised in Italy during World War I.
