Why is it difficult to determine a single cause for four dictators all coming to power at about the same time in Europe?
trasher [3.6K]

The reason it is so difficult to determine a single reason for the rise of 4 dictators in Europe at about the same time is that<u> they all came to </u><u>power </u><u>for </u><u>different reasons</u><u> and as a result of </u><u>different circumstances. </u>

<h3>The Four Dictators of Europe </h3>
  • Josef Stalin - Came to power after working his way up the Communist party. Communists were already in power so this was not as a result of change in government.

  • Adolf Hitler - Came to power as a result of German economic problems and went the democratic route until he became dictator.

  • Benito Mussolini - Came to power as a result of Italian economic problems and got power by marching on Rome and demanding it.

  • Francisco Franco - Came to power as a result of a Civil War that broke out more over ideology than economic problems.

These dictators took powers differently and were not all as a result of economic problems which is what makes it hard to pinpoint a single cause for their rise.
