CHAPTER 24 SECTION 1 – THE RISE OF DICTATORS
Dictators in the Soviet Union, Italy, and Germany formed brutal totalitarian governments in the 1920s and 1930s. They were motivated by their political beliefs and desire for power
IDEOLOGIES FACISM
totalitarian political rule where devotion to country is important and individual rights are suppressed
SOCIALISM A socialist economic system would consist of a system of production and distribution
organized to directly satisfy economic demands and human needs, so that goods and services would be produced directly for use instead of for private profit. Nationalism is usually used to achieve this goal.
COMMUNISM economic policy driven to create a classless society where workers control means of
production. Oftentimes, Socialism is just a transitional stage on the road to communism
CAPITALISM a free market economic system based on the private ownership of means of
production, with the goal of making a profit
DEMOCRACY form of government in which allows citizens to participate, either directly or through
elected representatives, in the proposal, development, and creation of laws
TOTALITARIAN FASCISM During the 1930s, totalitarian governments
gained power in Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union. These governments rise due to poverty and
unstable governments of the 1920’s These governments exerted total control over a
nation, using terror to suppress individual rights and silence all opposition.
Adolf Hitler in Germany and Benito Mussolini in Italy ruled their totalitarian states with a philosophy called fascism. Fascism emphasizes the importance of the nation
or an ethnic group and the supreme authority of a leader.

GOVERNMENT COMPARISON
COMMUNISM FACISM
No leader, directed directly by the people. (not used)
Abolished - all religion rejected
All members are equal
No private ownership, everything is commonly owned
One leader has absolute authority and is symbol of the state.
The state only supports religions that are tied to that state
Private ownership is allowed but directed by state
STALIN’S ECONOMIC PLANS Stalin approved state takeover of farmland
(collectivization) resulted in a dramatic fall in agricultural production as well as
mass starvation.
Stalin poured money into industrialization (creating factories) rather than basic necessities such as housing and clothing. They produced iron, steel, oil, coal Millions of rural labors were assigned to factories
Due to Stalin’s policies, the Soviet Union soon became a modern industrial power, although one with a low standard of living.

PURGES & TERROR To eliminate opposition, Stalin
began a series of purges the removal of enemies and undesirable
individuals from positions of power.
The Great Purge occurred in 1934 Stalin’s purges extended to all levels of
society. 1 million were either executed & millions
more were sent to forced labor camps.

Nearly all of those purged by Stalin were innocent. However, these purges
successfully eliminated all threats to Stalin’s power.

HITLER’S RISE TO POWER The Nazi Party: Hitler joined (1919) and soon led the Nazi
Party in Germany (1921). Nazism, was a form of fascism shaped by Hitler’s fanatical ideas
about German nationalism and racial superiority.
Mein Kampf: While imprisoned for trying to take over the government in November 1923, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (“My Struggle”). He proposed that Germany defy the Versailles
Treaty by rearming and reclaiming lost land. He also blamed minority groups, especially Jews, for Germany’s
weaknesses.
Hitler Becomes Chancellor: Hitler placed 2nd to Paul von Hindenburg in 1932 presidential
election, soon became chancellor He moved to suppress many German freedoms and gave
himself the title Der Führer, or “the leader” when Hindenburg dies in 1934
Used Nazi troops, brown shirts, to silence opposition

GERMAN EXPANSION Unemployment disappeared, industry prospered, and
Depression in Germany ended in 1936 as Nazi govt. put every citizen to work on public works projects
Hitler believed Germans needed more territory, or lebensraum (living space) Saw expansion as a way to bolster national pride Main goal became conquest of eastern Europe
On March 7, 1936, German troops entered the Rhineland, a region that the Versailles Treaty explicitly banned them from occupying. However, neither Britain nor France took any action.
In 1936, Hitler and Mussolini signed an alliance. Germany, Italy, and later Japan, became known as the Axis Powers.

APPEASEMENT In March 1938,
Germany took over Austria. Several months later,
Hitler demanded the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia.
Following the policy of appeasement, or giving into a competitor’s demands in order to keep the peace, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain agreed to allow Hitler to occupy the Sudetenland.
