On October 12, 1892, the Bellamy salute was demonstrated as the hand gesture to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance in the United States. The inventor of the saluting gesture was James B. Upham, junior partner and editor of the The Youth's Companion. There was no claim to a Roman origin for the salute. Bellamy recalled Upham, upon reading the pledge, came into the posture of the salute, snapped his heels together, and said "Now up there is the flag; I come to salute; as I say 'I pledge allegiance to my flag,' I stretch out my right hand and keep it raised while I say the stirring words that follow."

Post War use of the salute

Quote:
Use of the salute and accompanying phrases has been forbidden by law in Germany since the end of World War II. Section 86 of the German Penal Code provides for punishment of up to three years in prison for anyone using the salute, unless it is used in a clearly ironic and manner critical of the regime. Versions of the salute are used by neo-Nazis, who also use the number 88 to stand for "Heil Hitler" (the 8 standing for H, the eighth letter of the alphabet). One version is the so-called Kühnen salute with extended thumb, index and middle finger, also forbidden in Germany.

The Tamil separatist organization LTTE were understood to use the Nazi salute while saluting their leader Velupillai Prabhakaran in 2003.

In 2005, Italian footballer Paolo Di Canio created controversy by using the gesture on several occasions to salute hardcore right-wing S.S. Lazio fans. Di Canio has also expressed admiration for Mussolini

I just thought it was interesting that american school children were using it before Hitler. And most people don't even know it.
And from what I've read Bellamy was a "socialist" in the same vein as the National Socialist party that rose to power in germany later on.

The so called "Roman salute" is a myth !
Introduced by Hollywood in numerous films ,to the point that people think its true !
