The Bellamy salute became the standard salute for pledging allegiance up to the 1940’s. During the 1930’s the Italian Fascist party and the German Nazi Party adopted the salute.
The Bellamy salute was decommissioned on December 22, 1942, one year after the U.S. declared war on Germany and Japan, and replaced with the hand over heart salute.
