B. The appeal of freedom and the containment of Communism
<h3>Sharecropping has benefits and costs for both the owners and the tenant. Everyone encourages the cropper to remain on the land, solving the harvest rush problem. At the same time, since the cropper pays in shares of his harvest, owners and croppers share the risks of harvests being large or small and of prices being high or low. Because tenants benefit from larger harvests, they have an incentive to work harder and invest in better methods than in a slave plantation system. However, by dividing the working force into many individual workers, large farms no longer benefit from economies of scale. On the whole, sharecropping was not as economically efficient as the gang agriculture of slave plantations.</h3>
<h3>In the U.S. , "tenant" farmers own their own mules and equipment, and "sharecroppers" do not, and thus sharecroppers are poorer and of lower status. Sharecropping occurred extensively in Scotland, Ireland and colonial Africa, and came into wide use in the Southern United States during the Reconstruction era (1865–1877). The South had been devastated by war - planters had ample land but little money for wages or taxes. At the same time, most of the former slaves had labor but no money and no land - they rejected the kind of gang labor that typified slavery. A solution was the sharecropping system focused on cotton, which was the only crop that could generate cash for the croppers, landowners, merchants and the tax collector. Poor white farmers, who previously had done little cotton farming, needed cash as well and became sharecroppers.</h3>
Answer:
After World War I Germany was obviously on the losing side, and due to the Treaty of Versailles they were extremely in debt and there economy was very unstable. On the other hand Italy was on the winning side of World War I, but didn't receive the rewards they seek and felt cheated out for their efforts. As the Great Depression came around in 1929, both countries struggled to keep up float, due to this the people of Italy and Germany were looking for new solutions and people that could lead them through this. So when Mussolini and Hitler came around with their power to influence the people they basically told them they could fix everything if they were put in power, obviously that worked because they were put into position.
The answer would be C. Plantation agriculture and slave labor
