The first deportations of ethnic minorities started in the 1920s.
??? The rise of fascism to serious prominence, and the existence of 'Axis' powers, predates World War II, try World War I for example.
They weren't deporting axis power fascists in the 1920s. They were primarily deporting peasants who resisted collectivisation. They weren't 'axis power fascists'. Even Stalin didn't use that excuse.
