ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

The rise of dictatorships. The political unrest and poor economic conditions that developed after World War I enabled dictatorships to arise in several countries, especially in those countries that lacked a tradition of democratic government. During the 1920's and 1930's, dictatorships came to power in the Soviet Union, Italy, Germany, and Japan. They held total power and ruled without regard to law. The dictatorships used terror and secret police to crush opposition to their rule. People who objected risked imprisonment or execution.

During the 1920s and 1930s, many countries in Europe fell on hard times. They had to rebuild after World War I. The Great Depression began in 1929 and added to their problems. Many people in Europe were out of work and went hungry. Like Americans, the people in these countries wanted their governments to help them. Countries such as Great Britain and France were able to solve their problems and still keep freedom for their people. Other countries were not as successful. They turned to governments run by dictators.
