I believe that Fascism is predominately Italian. Fascism did not rise from one single event; it grew from actions of people and groups over many years.
The intent of this paper is to demonstrate that Burckhardt was a Romantic Historian. The Italian Renaissance was a product of freedom. Italy consisted of many small states with powerful men constantly fighting for the right to rule. Burckhardt believed that from the freedom of chaos everything the Italians created during the Renaissance became art. “A new fact appears in history – the state as the outcome of reflection and calculation, the state as a work of art.” His thesis was that the state was a work of art founded by individuals through reflection and calculation.

In fact, Napoleon instituted some reforms in Italy and even created a united Kingdom of Italy. These reinforced the impact of liberalism and nationalism. However, when Napoleon became more and more a dictator, he was opposed by Italians who rose into rebellion against Napoleonic
Renaissance Period The Renaissance was a great cultural movement that began in Italy during the early 1400’s.
