Content: Hitler could sustain such power by threatening people with violence and/or promising things to the people of Germany that were very unrealistic. Hitler then became chancellor so he had power legally. Hitler also banned other political parties and arrested his opponents. The Nazis also took control of the economy and started to come up with new laws. Why did the leadership of many European nations fall to dictators? In Hungary in 1919, a brief communist regime, military forces and wealthy landowners joined to make Admiral Miklos Horthy the 1st European post-war dictator. In Poland, Marshal Jozef Pilsudski seized power in 1926. Constitutions were suspended and kings turned to strong-man rule. This happened to countries who had little democratic experience and were struggling economically. Why did a movement like fascism and leaders like Mussolini and Hitler come into power during a time of crisis
People like Hitler and Mussolini came to power during times of crisis because many of the people were struggling economically and democracies were not working out, so the people began to turn towards leaders so they could prevent instability.
