Class Z would have substantially similar annual returns to Institutional Class because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities. Class Z's returns would differ from Institutional Class's returns to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.2Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.3Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has contractually agreed to reimburse Class Z of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 1.05%. This arrangement will remain in effect through December 31, 2014. FMR may not terminate this arrangement before the expiration date without the approval of the Board of Trustees.4From November 1, 2007.falseRisk/Return Detail Data - Fidelity International Growth Fund Class Z (USD $)NoRoundingUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://www.fidelity.com/role/DisclosureRiskReturnDetailDataElementsFidelityInternationalGrowthFundClassZ175
