Answer:
The Domino Theory was based on the idea that communism was a contagious force that spread from country to country. It was first advanced during Harry S. Truman's presidency, when WW2 ended, as the United States adopted the policy of Containment to restrict communist expansion and the sphere of influence held by the USSR.
Answer: there are many forms of communism and fascism (!!!) Italian fascism is not the same as English or Romanian fascism. Differences exist especially in theory, ideology, doctrine. When we move to practice and regime as it works in reality, there are few differences (for example: Communism should be theoretically open to all people without discriminating race....in the USSR Jews were discriminated). So description of differences will be purely theoretical:
1) fascism is born around 1900 whereas Communism came into existence (as a theory) already in 1848 (Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx).
2) Communism has its central authority (Karl Marx)....all the rest is derived from his thought. Fascism lacks that....it is a nebulous plurality of authors, mixture of ideas.
3) Communism is product of Enlightenment (primacy of reason, idea of progress, just society etc.) whereas fascism is a produt of Anti-Enlightenment (irrationalism, primacy of ancestry or race, belief in the soul of nation, sometimes necessity of exceptional leading elite, frequently is linked with some almost religious faith, cult of body, physical strength, very patriarchal, references to Middle Ages).
Explanation: similarities....both were born in times where masses were entering politics and both needs masses. Both preach man of masses. They do not promote individuality, individuality is suppressed.
Answer:
Though President Wilson firmly believed in an international body to conduct the matters of conflict between different nations by peace talks and his 'Fourteen Points' were influential in the foundation of the League of Nations, he could not rally the United States to be a member of League of Nations. Opposition came from the isolationist section who considers that Article Ten could draw the United States again into international war. Article ten required the members of the League to defend an attack on any of its member from any external threat.
