Asia and Italy
Both of these regions and countries were similar and influenced by the same things, but the cultures and people around them would shape their own paths and how they would rule their own worlds. The people of these regions were desperate and needing of help. The leaders were willing to fill their desires in order to take power. To the people’s dismay they were caught into three world powers striving for power at the people’s price.
Socially the three governments took approaches that limited the people’s power. In Italy they took a fascist approach, where people had no freedom, where they were imprisoned or put to death for not going with the dictator, and where the government limited culture. Likewise in China the Chinese Communist Party ruled, and it was founded at Beijing University in 1921, they ruled over the people very harshly and oppressed their nation with rules that were meant to keep the government in power even to this day. Japan on the other hand took on a democratic parliamentary monarchy in the early 1900’s under emperor Taisha. The upper class was ruled by oligarchies, but then in 1941 Japan was ruled by militarism.
Mussolini in a totalitarianism form of dictatorship ruled Italy. Mussolini did fight the mafia in his country, but he used propaganda to create a sort of “cult” called fascism. This was where they were anti-capitalist and anti-democratic. He suppressed religion like the communists in China. Japan remained a Shintolstic country. The Asian countries like Japan and China were very racist and looked down on the western nations. In Japan the working conditions were dreadful, strikes and riots were very common as a cause of this. Italy however was growing intellectually by sponsoring a lot of literary writers and composers, while China and Japan were focusing on producing weapons, planes and such for their strong and growing militaries. Technologically China and Japan were catching up with the rest of the world
