M2 - Matu 10 - Totalitarian States

Matu syllabus reference -  Etats totalitaires (fascisme, nazisme, stalinisme) analyser les mouvements totalitaires dans leurs dimensions idéologiques et sociologiques ; saisir les mécanismes de prise de pouvoir et de domination totalitaire; décrire la logique belliqueuse et situer les principales étapes menant à la 2e guerre mondiale.  Matu syllabus
Lesson 1 - What is modern authoritarianism? 
What was the historical context for totalitarianism? 
We are already familiar with the First World War and its consequences, especially for Russia. In this introductory film, the historian David Reynolds examines the rise of Fascism in that familiar historical context. 
Watch the video and consider the following questions:
​
  • Why did Italy emerge from World War 1 'divided and frustrated'?
  • How and why did Italy's new democracy collapse?
  • What did the Redipuglia War Memorial attempt to do?
  • What were the most important characteristics of fascism?
  • How did French politics become polarised in the 1930s?
  • Why did Britain avoid popular authoritarianism?

Lesson 2 - What is fascism?
Picture

Lesson 3 - How do modern authoritarian states come to power? Case study Mussolini
The next part of this unit is divided into two sections. In the first series of lessons, I am going to explain how in general authoritarian regimes come to power, consolidate power and use that power. To illustrate and explain these three features of authoritarianism, I will use the case-study of Mussolini's Italy. 
Mussolini's Fascist Italy is one of the three examples required by Matu syllabus and the only one not covered by your textbook, so I will once again be writing the content for you. 

​To supplement what I have to say and to give you a more traditional narrative overview here is a comprehensive extract from an old 'A Level' text that I used to use. 
​
You will find these lectures and associated reading the most challenging things you have done this year. In the second section of this unit - and as required by the syllabus - you will apply what you have learnt to the examples of Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany. In small groups you will be designated the responsibility for researching, writing and presenting on one of six aspects of 'totalitarian' states. ​

Lesson 4 - How do modern authoritarian states consolidate and maintain power? Case study Mussolini

Lesson 5 - How do modern authoritarian states gain support from policies and what do they aim to achieve ? Case study Mussolini

Lesson 6 - Research and presentation assignment. 

In this lesson students are divided into groups to research and apply the schema introduced in previous lessons to the authoritarian states of Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia. They begin by following the guidelines in these research sheets:
Rise to power
Consolidation and maintenance
Aims and policies
