Answer 2

Hitler's rise to power began in Germany in September 1919 when Hitler joined the political party then known as the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.

Joseph Stalin was a Georgian born student radical who became a member and eventually a leader of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. He served as the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death in 1953. In the years following the death of Vladimir Lenin, he rose to become dictator of the Soviet Union, using a combination of manipulation and terror to destroy his opposition.


In 1919, Mussolini organized a group of veterans and discontented Italians into the Fascist party. Mussolini used violence to suppress opposition and to encourage Fascism. In 1922, the Fascists made the March to Rome. With the Fascists swarming the capitol, King Victor Emmanuel III asked Mussolini to form a government as prime minister.
