how did the treaty of versailles lead to the rise of dictatorship (2 marks)
Answers
Explanation:
The Treaty of Versailles severely restricted Germany to the point of causing a severe depression and failed economy of Germany, the starvation and homelessness of the German people. The people blamed that treaty for their problems. They did not have a strong government which was capable of solving the nationwide problems.
The Germans did not elect the Nazis to power. They were victims of the Nazis taking over when their President Hindenburg died and the Chancellor Adolf Hitler took over. He abolished the existing constitution and ignored the Versailles Treaty. This is how Germany was ushered into a dictatorship government.
In Italy and Spain it was more of a matter of voters choosing the wrong person for their leadership and being dragged into bad dictatorships.
