| A strange question for a
IGCSE syllabus
and one that is probably more appropriate to IB History. Some
historians used the concept of 'totalitarianism' to draw comparisons
between different single-party states, whether fascist or communist.
States were said to be 'totalitarian' because they had apparently
'total' control over peoples' lives. The activity in Grey and Little
(50) will get you to identify the 'totalitarian' features of Nazi
Germany and lead you to inevitable conclusion that it wasn't
completely 'totalitarian'. |
