Fascism, as I understand it, wishes to expand the state for the sake of the state, or something like that. People often have different opinions on what it actually means to be a fascist, aside from the usual racially-motivated political spree.

The question I wanted to ask was, if Britain at the height of its empire post-WWI turned into an Italian-style fascist state, what would be their aims and goals? They already control a massive empire. Would they try some sort of political union with the dominions? (Canada is probably excepted from this, being independent for all intents and purposes since the 1890s). My first thought is that they attempt to reabsorb Ireland.

If this is ASB, I apologise, but I'm more interested in what happens after they become fascist in, say (for a random number), 1926, more than how they might become fascist (of course, it could be because of economic woes or whatever if one needs a very simplistic explanation). Just as a note, I have heard of Edt's timeline with Oswald Mosley becoming PM. I haven't read it because I'm not big on reading and there are a lot of words. :p

Anyway, moving on: Thoughts?
