Fascism in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s can best be described as a form of totalitarianism. It elevated the state above the individual.
During the interwar period, fascism took hold primarily in Italy and Germany. In Italy, Benito Mussolini established the National Fascist Party in 1922, promoting authoritarian nationalism and militarism. In Germany, Adolf Hitler's National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi Party) gained power in 1933, implementing fascist policies characterized by totalitarianism, anti-communism, and extreme nationalism. Other countries, such as Spain and Hungary, also experienced fascist movements, though they were less dominant compared to Italy and Germany.
Benito Mussolini was a key figure in the rise of fascism in Europe, being the founder of the Italian Fascist Party and the first to implement fascist policies in government. His regime, established in 1922, emphasized nationalism, authoritarianism, and militarism, serving as a model for other fascist movements across Europe, including Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. Mussolini's aggressive foreign policy and propaganda helped to popularize fascism, influencing political ideologies and movements in several countries during the interwar period. Ultimately, his actions contributed to the broader spread of fascist ideals in the 20th century.

"Fascism" is a term that has many definitions but most people use it to describe ultra right-wing, authoritarian and racist political beliefs. In that sense you could in hindsight call the Japanese WW2 leadership 'fascist', but fascism as a formal national ideology during WW 2 is closely connected to only Germany, Italy and Spain. At the time it was never used in connection with Japan.
