# Fascist March on Rome

> Mussolini's paramilitary show of force pressured the King to appoint him PM, establishing fascism's first state model.

## Summary

Fascist architecture encompasses various stylistic trends in architecture developed by architects of fascist states, primarily in the early 20th century. Fascist architectural styles gained popularity in the late 1920s with the rise of modernism along with the ultranationalism associated with fascist governments in western Europe. Fascist styles often resemble that of ancient Rome, but can extend to modern aesthetics as well. Fascist-era buildings are frequently constructed with particular concern given to symmetry, simplicity, and monumental size, especially for public buildings.
