Common misconception
Students might believe that fascism was only a factor in Nazi Germany, and be unaware of the existence of fascist groups in Britain.
Fascism spread across Europe in the 1930s, including to Britain, although Britain's strong democratic tradition meant it did not take hold as it did in other countries at the time.
