[Answer] Who is credited with coining the political term “fascism”?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who is credited with coining the political term “fascism”?"



...Italian dictator Benito Mussolini is widely credited with coining and popularizing the term “fascism.” The word comes from the Italian fascismo, derived from the Latin fasces—a bundle of rods tied around an axe blade that symbolized authority and unity in ancient Rome. Mussolini adopted the symbol and the term in the early 1920s to describe his authoritarian nationalist movement after he seized power in Italy in 1922. Fascism later became the label for similar ultranationalist, dictatorial regimes in Europe during the interwar period.

[Answer] Which man was born on the same exact day as Abraham Lincoln?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which man was born on the same exact day as Abraham Lincoln?"



...How's this for a coincidence? Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day, February 12, 1809. Lincoln and Darwin share similarities beyond their birthday and epic beards. Both lost their mothers at a young age: Darwin at 8 and Lincoln at 9. One was born in a log cabin in Kentucky to poor parents, the other in a country estate to a wealthy British family. The two never met. But they both changed the most basic ways that people viewed human existence and helped bring about a new era in the history of human thought.
