There were several totalitarian government takeovers in the 20s and 30s leading up to WW2. Mussolini established the Fascist party in Italy and forcibly took over there. Hitler forced his way into German government. Stalin, despite Lenin's pleas to keep him out of power, took control of the USSR. And Tojo forced his way into power in Japan through a military coup.

These 4 were power hungry and land hungry and most definitely totalitarian dictators. Since these 4 were the cause of WW2 i would say that is why totalitarianism is a cause of World War 2
