In\u00a0Three New Deals<\/em>, author Wolfganf Schivelbusch \u00a0argues how three powerful states were all led by common\u00a0ideals leading up to WWII. \u00a0This is not to confuse with ‘same’ ideals in any sense. \u00a0While these terms may seem alike, Schivelbusch clearly states there is a difference. \u00a0He argues that while the\u00a0United States, Germany, and Italy had common features the three cannot be considered identical in any way. \u00a0It is difficult to place the United States, a democratic society, in the same category as two authoritative countries, but Schivelbusch continues to explain how they represent one another while being different at the same time.<\/p>\n

Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal consisted of a series of acts that were\u00a0established to help the United States recover from the Great Depression. \u00a0While the New Deal looks as it could help the recovery process, it ultimately did nothing but create criticism both internationally and domestically. \u00a0Much of the criticism was towards FDR and his Fascist and National Socialist fascinations. \u00a0Schivelbusch argues how Germany and Italy identified the similarities of FDR’s economic solutions and supported his dictatorial\u00a0leadership style. \u00a0While these solutions may have been similar to those of the Fascist or National Socialist, they are not identical in any matter.<\/p>\n

Another element Schivelbusch recognizes that is common within these three states is the use\u00a0of\u00a0\u00a0propaganda, particularly war propaganda. \u00a0War propaganda was used create a sense of nationalism through the respected states, and Italy and Germany seemed to create a strong idea of nationalism. \u00a0Stated, “fascism and National Socialism saw themselves as the continuation of solders’ solidarity, as heroic, messianic movements that would invigorate nations still ruled by outdated ideas with new revolutionary spirit. \u00a0Politics was a call to arms on the home front” (39). \u00a0FDR and the United States did not have anywhere near the strength of the Germans or Italians, but was convinced he could spread it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
