          That was a definite contributing factor, but obviously there was more to Nazism than that, or Neville Chamberlain would have been right. And Italy didn’t lose WWI or even stay on the same side through it.

          One side combined Communists and the traditional colonial empires Marx wrote about. The other was upstart Fascists blending capitalism with a kind of feudal logic.
