From the way your question is phrased, I cannot give you any specifics because people have lost faith in democracy for many reasons across the centuries.

Typical Reasons:

Inefficacious: Democracies typically take a long time to implement new policies. There are many times were people believe that an immediate answer is necessary and the government does not respond. This is especially acute in economic and political emergencies.

Compromising: Democracies work on the idea that each group/party must compromise to create new policies. When one group/party believes that this compromise is weakening its ability to survive, that group will lose faith.

Moneyed Interests: Republics with Congressmen, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and so forth are susceptible to lobbying and other practices that leave the individual citizens out of the sphere of politics where democracy says that they have a role (as opposed to a Dictatorship where people do not believe they have that right or power).

Uneducated Populace: Many elite and educated individuals in democratic nations have lost faith in democracy because poor, uneducated, and confused voters have an equal say in politics as they do even though they have a worse understanding of their interests.

Religiosity: Democracy goes against supremacy that each religion asserts for its beliefs. Therefore, in a number of strongly religious states, when the state imposes a secular policy there is a backlash. The opposite also occurs, where in a predominately agnostic/atheistic state the local church overtakes the political process similar to a moneyed interest.

Why did millions of people lose faith in democratic governments - facism rises in Europe?

Millions lost faith in democratic governments during the early 20th century due to economic instability, social unrest, and the perceived inability of democracies to address pressing issues like unemployment and inflation, particularly following World War I. The Treaty of Versailles and its harsh reparations fueled resentment in countries like Germany, contributing to political extremism. As a result, authoritarian regimes, promising order and national rejuvenation, gained popularity, leading to the rise of fascism across Europe. This shift reflected a broader disillusionment with democratic institutions, which many viewed as ineffective in times of crisis.
