astra-53 [7]

Answer:

After world war, the following factors led to the  development of a totalitarian government in Italy

  • The rate of unemployment was high
  • High rate of inflation due to drop in value of the Italian Euro
  • Wages for workers were low
  • Shortages of food and some other resources
  • Absence of opposition parties to Mussolini. .

Explanation:

1. The rate of unemployment was high, because most of the factories and farms were destroyed due to the war. the industries available to keep the population busy were unavailable

2. The war led to a massive printing of the Italian Euro, which caused a devaluation in its value.

3. Since there was a great economic depression, most jobs available were menial jobs which only low wages were remunerated.

4. Shortage of food and other basic social amenities made the general public agitated and willing to accept a reform in the government.

5. Absence of opposition parties to Mussolini  made it easy for Him to form a totalitarian system of government.

The presence of all these factors caused a great social unrest, and made the general population more eager to accept a reform in the governmental system, thus facilitating the totalitarian government in Italy.
