The Plague

Another pandemic that the world went through in the past was the  Black Death, also known as The Plague.  Black death began in Europe and then spread to Asia a few years later. This website mentions that recent research suggests that it started in Europe and began to spread because of the trading of boats that happened between the far and near East. It is explained that the symptoms of the black death started with strange swellings that had pus and blood coming out, and after this fever, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, terrible aches followed then at the end death. The Plague never left it returned 800 years later. There were 200 million lives lost." many people believed that the Black Death was a kind of divine punishment—retribution for sins against God such as greed, blasphemy, heresy, fornication, and worldliness." "port city of Ragusa was able to slow its spread by keeping arriving sailors in isolation until it was clear they were not carrying the disease—creating social distancing that relied on isolation to slow the spread of the disease."

Module #4 - Chapter 20

In section of Fascism form chapter 20, it talks about Fascism Alternative in Europe. The new political ideology known as racism was found between 1919 and 1945 across Europe. It educates that racism  "bitterly" praised violence to the individualism, liberalism, feminism, parliamentary democracy, and communism. Because of these ideas, it got a lot of upset people after World War l. People I middle, and upper classes felt a dire threat to the rise of socialism and communism. Some lost faith in the capacity of liberal democracy and capitalism to create a good society. It also explains that fascism alternative first took shape in Italy. It informs that Benito Mussolini came to power in 19922 by promising an alternative to both communism and ineffective democratic rule, the order in streets, end of bickering party-based politics, and maintenance of the traditional social order. His rise to power brought violence because it made people go destroy the socialist's offices and newspapers.

During my self-guided research, I  found an article titled, "What to Know About the Origins of Fascism’s Brutal Ideology" it informs its audience that Benito, "wasn’t inventing the idea of violent authoritarianism. But he put a name on a new and terrible breed of it. Under his leadership, squads of militants attacked, beat, and killed fellow Italians." This quote tells the audience fascism wasn't as bad he made it be. This man used his new breed of fascism to treat the race he hated horribly. What this article made realize was that Benito made an alliance with Hitler who used this new breed against the Jewish.
