Why did nations adopt authoritarian governments in the 1930's? *

1. The great depression

2.The lack of democratic traditions

Explanation:

This question dwells intensively upon the causes of World War 2. Several nations took an aggressive position in world politics, based on an authoritarian style of Government.

Italy became Fascist

Japan became an Absolute Monarchy

Germany became Nazi.

Russia became Communist.

The Great Depression (felt worldwide) had radicalized these nations. Without experience, the authoritarians skillfully blamed the Democratic Institutions for the Great Depression. On the chance that this was true, these nations turned back in time to the most successful model. of government that they knew.

In short, I see two main causes for authoritarianism in the 1930;s.

The Great Depression

The lack of Democratic traditions in that nation upon which to build.

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
