Interwar countries

During the interwar period, many countries in Europe and some in America like Germany, France, Japan, USA, and China were affected by all the things that happened during that time. This period was between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War. They suffered economically matters, political, and the society but not everything broke down. The militarism during this period of time rise a lot, especially in the countries were fascism ruled. Germany was devastated after the First World War. They were forced (because of the Treaty of Versailles) to pay all the reparations and the damage they did in the war, especially to France and Britain. The Treaty of Versailles also forced Germany to reduced their military to a certain number. In 1922, Germany and other countries were affect by the great depression. In the Dawes Plan, German borders were sold to USA private investors. It worked a little bit but the great depression also arrived to the Americans. When the stock markets broke down, Germany also broke down. Countries became ruled by dictators like Germany, Italy, Russia, and Spain. Germany by Adolf Hitler, Italy by Benito Mussolini, Russia by Stalin, Spain by Franco and China by Mao. Like Adolf Hitler and others dictators, they became very powerful and the people loved them. For example, the Italians thought that Mussolini could make miracles to people. All the dictators that ruled in that time only made what they want. If another guy had an opinion or believe that was against what the dictator believe, he was killed. They control everything. China was the only one to have a dictator after the Second World War, Mao Zedong. There was a lot of unemployment during this period because of the Great Depression. I really think Adolf Hitler's tactics and ideas would work in other countries in Europe because he was a very intelligent man and he knew how to convince people. He speak in mass meetings with the people to express nationalism, pride and honor. Like the same way he took control of Germany with the Nazi party, he could also take other countries too. I also think that about Mussolini. After the First World War, Germans were angry of loosing the war and they needed to blame to someone. Adolf Hitler was anti-semite against the Jews and he convinced the people that because of the Jews, they were like that economically. I don’t think Francisco Franco would be successful as a dictator in other countries like Hitler or Mussolini. During his power in Spain, he didn’t enter to World War 2 in order to recover Spain from the terrible civil war. I think he was a better ruler.
