Answer 1

The countries that can most closely be associated with the rise of fascism in the early 20th century are Germany and Italy.

Fascism emerged prominently in Italy under Benito Mussolini in the 1920s, and in Germany, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party adopted and adapted fascist ideas, solidifying their power in the early 1930s. Both countries are central to the historical context and development of fascism during that period.
