*Sending troops into the Rhineland, Austria and the
Sudetenland (Czechoslovakia)

26. CULTURAL MOVEMENTS
Art, Music, Dance
Friday, 10 May 13

27. 11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts. Intellectuals
and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with
them were anathema to these regimes. Intellectual and academic
freedom were considered subversive to national security and the
patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically
unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or
expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed.
To these regimes, art and literature should serve
the national interest or they had no right to exist.
Remember point 11 from the 14 points of
Fascism...?

28. However, the period of time before, during
and after WWII served to provide much
inspiration to artists and musicians, as they
often used their art to fight the Fascist regime.
