1. Identify Central Issues What economic

conditions led to the rise of totalitarianism in

Europe and Asia?

Answer: The rise of totalitarianism is mostly linked to economic opportunity.

Explanation:

Even if the German economy remained sidelined during the rise of National Socialism, there are specific indications of Hitler's official views on the economy. The National Socialist Party did not have a clearly defined economic stance and policy on the above. What is known is the fact that Hitler despised capitalism, associated it with Jews, and blamed Jews for the severe economic position of Germany in the years after the First World War. On the other hand, the rise of militarism in Japan has somewhat different connotations. Japan wanted to develop and expand its industry to neighbouring countries. The great economic crisis that has arisen in the united states has also hit Japan. As a way out of the financial crisis, the Japanese authorities saw an opportunity in the country's territorial expansion at the expense of other countries.
