The Great Depression cause heartache and discomfort all over the world. People were going into debt. Banks and businesses were closing. People were losing their jobs and they had nowhere to turn. The president of the time of the Great Depression was Herbert Hoover. President Hoover believe in Laissez faire and that the government should not interfere with the economy. During the middle point of the great depression more people were laid off and many more banks were going out of businesses. It was more than the United States of America that were affected about the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and went into office in March 1933. Franklin D. Roosevelt created the New Deal, which was one of the first step in getting out of the Great Depression. The New Deal moved the government into a more anti Laissez faire positons. Even through the Great Depression affected the United States of America in a tremendous way, it also affected Europe in a major way. Europe suffered from economic hardships and Germany and France was not on good terms. Europe was also affected by tariffs and war trades. The great depression led Europeans tried to find leaders to get the people out of the economic hardships so they fell into the hands of Adolf Hitler and many other powerful leaders. Most of Europe became fascists and only a few were anti fascists. The rise of totalitarian states is one of the outcomes of the Great depression.
Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany and the leader of the Germany’s Nazis.

Adolf Hitler believe that the government should take control of the country. Hitler regulated the media and the people of Germany. The people of Germany did not have a freedom of speech or a right to do anything. Hitler had secret police officers to spy on the people of Germany and if the people disagree with the government they would be in prison, killed, place them on reservation camps or even brutally beating. . Some people applauded his action and some people were too afraid to speak out. Hitler practice propaganda. Hitler knew that the public were going to read newspapers and listen to the radio, so he organize prearranged radio broadcasts, films, stories and rallies in his favor so he could make the government look really good. He made the people think that he was really doing great things in Germany. Hitler brought terror to the people of Germany. Hitler started the Holocaust in Germany that killed many Jews and put them onto reservation camps. Adolf Hitler influenced many other leaders with his very many abilities. Adolf Hitler made Germany into a totalitarian state. He was also the cause of World War

II
Communist Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1927-1953. He was responsible for 20-60 million people. Many people in the Soviet Union went into famine and died. Joseph Stalin did created a totalitarian state and run things much like Adolf Hitler. Since Stalin was a communist in was indifferent with Germany. The people did not have much say so in the government. The government control the media which focused on propaganda. In 1939 Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin sign a non-aggression pact. Even though the people had warn Stalin that Hitler were not to be trusted, he trusted him anyway. Later Hitler invaded the Soviet Union with Operation Barbarossa on June 22, 1941. Joseph Stalin did fight back on Germany after the United States did that help with supplies so Stalin and his team made their own nuclear weapons. Joseph Stalin was the cause of the Cold War.
Benito Mussolini was the leader of Italy and he made Italy became a totalitarian state.

He did similar things such as Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin. While all totalitarian states were pretty much run the same way, if not it would not have been a totalitarian state. All totalitarian states use propaganda. Benito Mussolini was the founder of fascism and was a socialist before then. Benito Mussolini did not have much confrontation with Stalin but he did have problems with Adolf Hitler. “Mussolini slowly overcame his anti-German attitudes, and then allied himself with Adolf Hitler in May 1939. Mussolini expected corresponding policies to hinder German creativities until Italy’s forces recovered from their recent actions. Mussolini planned the next war in 1943-1945. But Hitler started World War II in September 1939, giving only one week’s warning to the Italians and forcing an enraged, humiliated Mussolini to declare ‘non-belligerence’” (History, 2014). Mussolini did not create war for the world but in he did create war for his

country.
The rise of totalitarian states did have an impact on the world. The states created fear into people and maybe even scared them for their life. Many people died, were beating, and placed on reservations camps during the period of the totalitarian states. There were a rise in the states but things did come an end. Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini was a huge starting line for totalitarian states. The Totalitarian states did cause many of the wars that the United States of America fought in.
