The answer is C) Ronald Reagan
The correct answer is - Nationalism.
Both Italy and Germany were countries were the people lived in terrible conditions. The moral was low. The unity was almost non-existent. The economies were in bad conditions.
Hitler and Mussolini used all of this things, and presented their ideology to the people as a unifying one. They promoted socialism, but also nationalism, and used the nationalism to make the people feel like a part of something big and united, feel special, distinct, and worthy of greater things.
Unfortunately, they also promoted hatred towards other nations, and also inferiority of the other ethnic group.
If the ottomans did not capture Constantinople the Europeans would've NOT try to find different trade routes which would lead to the Americas not being found, and which would also lead with some parts of Africa left alone.
Thanks for asking.
