Mussolini and Hitler: fascism, the cultural history of diplomacy and male friendship

墨索里尼和希特勒之间的关系是20世纪历史的中心。该项目将通过外交文化史的棱镜来研究这种关系，并重新评估男性友谊在现代历史和政治中的核心作用。特别是，它将扩大我们对德意关系和欧洲法西斯主义的看法。该项目将探索两位领导人及其政权之间的重要联盟，这种联盟为第二次世界大战期间对欧洲和世界造成的前所未有的破坏铺平了道路。该项目还将帮助我们了解在日益复杂和相互联系的世界中国际关系的人际动态的重要性。

The relationship between Mussolini and Hitler was central to the history of the 20th century. The project will study this relationship through the prism of the cultural history of diplomacy and reappraise the central role of male friendship in modern history and politics. In particular, it will broaden our view of German-Italian relations and European fascism. The project will explore the significant alliance between the two leaders and their regimes which paved the way for the unprecedented destruction wrought upon Europe and the world during the Second World War. The project will also help us to understand the significance of the interpersonal dynamics of international relations in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
