INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that World War I led to the rise of fascism?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: one book covers fascism's rise in the post-WWI period, and one study links post-WWI socialist support to fascism's emergence in Italy. None establishes that World War I itself caused the rise of fascism generally.
