Differences From Other Authoritarian Regimes
There is some debate over how the regime relates to other authoritarian regimes of the era: those of Franco's Spain, Italian Fascism, and German Nazism. Richard Clogg argues that while the regime had "superficial trappings of Fascism" and Metaxas "did not disguise his admiration for Nazism and Fascism", it is "more correctly categorised as paternalist-authoritarian rather than fascist". Some of the main and important differences of Metaxas' regime include:
- The anti-imperialist speech of the regime.
- The pro-Jewish stance of Metaxas.
- The emphasis on the progress of the Greek Arts and Culture (as a plan for the "Third Hellenic Civilization").

Famous quotes containing the word differences:
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
