Nazism and fascism

Nazism is an expression of fascism that governed Germany between 1933 and 1945.In this sense, both fascism as Nazism were strongly dictatorial mood regimes, which annulled all kinds of political opposition and were characterized by concentrating all power in the hands of a supreme leader of great charisma.
They were considered a third alternative to liberal democracies, which had led the world to a strong economic crisis, and communist regimes.They had effective propaganda devices and a strong racist component.
In the German case, Nazism was characterized by exalting the Aryan race to the detriment of the other races and for a marked anti-Semitism.
However, it came to an end with the end of the Second World War, in 1945, while political systems of fascist indole continued to rule in countries like Portugal or Spain until the 70s, and in Latin America until well into the 80s of the twentieth century.
