Detailed explanation-1: -How did dictators acquire and expand power in Europe in the 1930’s? Dictators were able to rise to power easily during the 1930s because of the recent World War and a world-wide depression. Many people were seeking economic stability, a surplus of food, a strong leader to help them, and some national pride.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ultimately all these dictators used nationalism in a similar manner. Their nation served to create a group to which some people did and other people did not belong. In other words, they created an in-group and an out-group based on the nation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The postwar years also brought the rise of powerful dictators driven by the belief in nationalism-loyalty to one’s country above all else-and dreams of territorial expansion.
Detailed explanation-4: -The impact of World War I and the impact of the Great Depression, which began in 1929, were the two most significant factors which enabled dictatorships to rise in the interwar period.
