Emblem of the National Socialists and later National League of Nazi Germany, 1935-1945
A Nazi is a follower of national socialism. National Socialism is the ideology on which a totalitarian dictatorship was founded in Germany between 1933 and 1945. The founder of national socialism was the original German / Austrian political provocator, populist and later dictator of Germany Adolf Hitler, who was also the head of the political party in which national socialism had organized: the National Socialist German Labor Party (NSDAP). Distinction
The dictatorships of Spain and Italy, from the same period of time, which had a collaborative relationship with the Nazis, are often unjustified by one's combs with national socialism and the Nazis. The agreement was that these countries were also dictatorships, but they did not have the extreme racist elements of Nazism. The Spanish General Francisco Franco supported a strong nationalist ideology for his dictatorial rule over Spain - so-called francism, a covenant between the Spanish Catholic Church, the Army, the Conservative Spanish Elite and led by Generalistimo dictator Franco - without a strong Nazi racist element was present. Nor was the Italian Benito Mussolini a Nazi, but a fascist, like Franquism, was highly nationalist. Italian fascism, like Franquism, strongly supported nationalism, but also had socialist features such as corporatist and collectivist elements, and stood for a strong country with a strong leader like the Nazis. Democracy was also rejected here, but citizenship did not play so much, if only behind the Italian state and the fascists. Hitler, who was an admirer of Mussolini in his early years, has integrated many elements of fascism, such as corporatism, into his Nazi ideology. Later in World War II, under the influence of Hitler, racist laws were introduced into fascist Italy. Mussolini was dropped by his own fascist party at the end of the war and German Nazism died at the total defeat of Germany in May 1945. After the war, German Nazism and Italian fascism were banned. In Spain, however, that remained neutral during the war, Francisco Franco's dictatorship remained in the seventies. Declaration of Word
The word 'nazi' comes from Nationalsozialist, the German-speaking term for a follower of national socialism. The abbreviation 'nazi' is analogous to the slightly older 'sozi', which in Germany in the early 20th century was the common name for a follower of socialism. The term 'Nazism' is derived from 'Nazi' and is now used as an abbreviation for national socialism. It is also used as a pejorative adjective ('those are Nazi practices'). Also see
