countries in Europe were democratic – Britain, France, Germany and Italy. However, in the years between the two world wars – from 1919 to 1939 – many European countries became dictatorships. Mussolini’s rule in Italy, Hitler’s in Germany and Stalin’s in the Soviet Union (Russia) are examples of dictatorships in Europe in the interwar years (between World War I and World War II). Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany are examples of fascist dictators. Fascism was very popular in these countries in the 1920s and 1930s.
