  1. While you are quite correct that Fascism and Nazism are not the same thing, they do share a lot of ideology and structure. Look at the US and UK. Both are representative democracies, but there are lots of differences. On the other hand, the UK was an empire. Don't forget that prior to WWI and WWII there were massively popular passivist movements in the US. This is why the US did not get involved until attacked. In fact, after Pearl Harbor, the US did not declare war on Germany, a Japanese ally, but the other way around. One of the reasons for the passivist movements in the US was the reluctance to support European Imperial powers. It was the imperialism that rankled in the US. After WWII the US successfully pressured the UK to wind down its empire. So, while the systems were similar they are not the same, much like Fascism and Nazism. So, while you are correct, harping on that as the reason for the machinations in Austria and Ethiopia had little to do with the differences in the systems and more to do with geopoitics.
