whate do you understand by the term fascism and Naszisem during the outbreak of the second world war ?

Fascism is a far-right political ideology that promotes authoritarianism, nationalism, and often racism. It seeks to create a totalitarian state led by a single leader and suppresses opposition through violence and censorship. Nazism, specifically, refers to the ideology and policies of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party) led by Adolf Hitler in Germany. Nazism is a form of fascism that is characterized by extreme racism, anti-Semitism, and the belief in the superiority of the Aryan race.

During the outbreak of the Second World War, both fascism and Nazism played significant roles in shaping the conflict. Nazi Germany, under Hitler's leadership, sought to expand its territory and impose its ideology on other countries through military aggression. Fascist Italy, under Benito Mussolini, also aligned with Nazi Germany and participated in the war on the side of the Axis powers.

The ideologies of fascism and Nazism fueled the atrocities committed during the war, including the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis. The war ultimately ended with the defeat of the Axis powers and the dismantling of fascist and Nazi regimes in Europe.
