The Rise of Dictators: Aggression, Appeasement, and the Road to War

This review explores the ascent of dictators in the early 20th century, examining key factors that enabled their rise to power and the consequences of their rule. It discusses the concepts of fascism, totalitarianism, and the use of propaganda, scapegoating, and purges. The study focuses on major aggressions of the 1930s, including Japan's invasions and Hitler's military buildup, which violated the Treaty of Versailles. Additionally, it analyzes the impact of appeasement strategies, as exemplified by the Munich Conference, and their failure to prevent conflict in Europe.
