Why did so many countries turn to totalitarian dictatorships after World War 1?

Totalitarian governments generally take control because of an economic collapse. The Treaty of Versailles demanded war reparations from Germany. The only way Germany could pay, was to print more money. That lead to hyperinflation and high unemployment. Italy, Russia, Japan suffered tremendous economic disasters following WW1.
When a large mass of people suffer because of unemployment, loss of property, homes, jobs, have no way to provide for their families, they are open and vulnerable to strong leaders like Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, who promise to deliver them. The US. economy did not suffer to the extent European nations and Japan did, during the world wide depression prior to WW2. In fact, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was a retaliation for a U.S. blockade and embargo during a trade war with Japan, which the Japanese people supported.

The Fascist Party in Italy, and the Nazis in Germany, offered quick, uncomplicated, Law and Order, and efficiency. In Russia, Stalin used the existing "Dictatorship of the masses" to convert it into a cult of personality for himself.
