Answer:
Totalitarianism
A totalitarian ruler leads a government that maintains complete control over every
part of public and private life of the citizens in that country. The economic problems
that resulted from World War I and the Depression led people to question
whether democratic government could improve their lives. Totalitarian
governments appeared to provide a sense of security and offered a
strong direction for the future.
Both Communism and Fascism used aspects of totalitarianism
as part of their governments. In general, both used dictators, only
allowed one political party, and denied many individual rights.
Police terror was used for control and to get rid of any opposition.
Controlling media sources (newspapers, television, radio etc.)
with propaganda and limiting what was reported helped influence
what people thought.
