The Great War left every major European country nearly bankrupt. After the war ended. There was a sudden rise of new democracies. From 1914-1918, Europe's last remaining leaders were overthrown. The first government was formed in Russia in 1917. Most European nations had democratic governments. The only problem is, most citizens never knew how to run a democratic government. Since they had been ruled with a monarchy system. This became a struggle for most countries and it was almost impossible for one party to win enough support to govern efficiently. Since no party was able to govern successfully they created an alliance with all parties, called a coalition government. It was only temporary because of the parties constantly disagreeing with each other.

The Weimar Republic was set up in 1919, it was Germany's new democratic government. Although it had a lot of strong political parties, it lacked a strong democratic tradition. And millions of Germans blamed the Weimar Republic for their country's defeat and post war humiliation caused by the Treaty of Versailles. With the help of the U.S, Germany finally was back on their feet and reducing inflammation.

The U.S had a strong economy and with the help of the U.S a lot of countries were being financially aided. But the more money the U.S gave out, the less money they had to support themselves. But if the U.S economy falls, the whole world's economic system would fall, and cause a global crisis. By 1929, American factories turned out mainly half of the world's industrial goods and led to enormous profit. But it wasn't distributed evenly. The richest 5% of the population received 33% of all personal income, but 60% of all American families earned less than $2000 a year. Many weren't able to buy goods, and a lot of workers lost their jobs. Stock Markets were failing and the downward economic spiral began.

People could not pay money they bought at high prices, money was now worthless, unemployment rates began to rise and industrial production, prices and wages declined. So many people had lost their jobs and America was in such a bad spot that in 1932, production had been cut in 1/2, thousands of businesses failed and banks closed. By 1933 1/4th of all American workers had no job. This was the Great Depression. Many countries depended on exploratory goods from the U.S. Everyone suffered, and world trade dropped. 65%.

Benito Mussolini, was a 5'7 male. He made a huge promise to rescue Italy by reviving its economy and rebuilding its armed forces. He made countless speeches on top of balconies, or above a public square just to make him look taller. Make him feel "ahead" of the citizens. His speeches were heartfelt, emotional, and tragic, he used aggressive words such as war, and power. His main goal was to create an Italian empire in North Africa. The way he was going to do that is by   Fascism. In some ways fascism is similar to communism. Both are ruled by dictators, both only allowed one party to rule and run, and both declined individual rights. The major differences between the two would be that communism wants everyone to be equal, and to rule everything around them and spread. Fascist are only loyal to their state, and fascists still have a form of hierarchy. Each class has its place and function.
