How did world war 1 contribute to the rise of dictators in Europe?
After World War I, Europe was in a shambles. Boundaries were changed, and countries were formed and countries ceased to exist. The cost of the war left much of Europe destitute. This combination lead to the rise of nationalistic fervor in the defeated nations. There was such upheaval that the Nationalist flame outshone the other political ideologies. This gave rise to dictators.
What is the meaing of the folloeing trem direct democracy republic monarchy dictatorship?
Direct Democracy = when the people directly run their own government. When the country wants to do something, the people get together and all decide what to do. This style of government only really works with very small countries, like ancient Greek city-states.
Republic = a form of government that is "by the people" (in fact, "Republic" comes from the Latin words res publica, meaning "the people's thing"). It is a government that is not ruled by a king or an emperor or some other kind of monarch. It's a very broad term and can include both free and unfree countries.
Monarchy = a form of government that is ruled by a "monarch". A monarch is usually a hereditary position like a king, queen, emperor, sultan, shah, etc, although sometimes they can be elected, like the Holy Roman Emperors or the pope. In a monarchy, the entire country is considered to be the personal property of the monarch himself. Some monarchies are absolute, where the monarch has total power to do whatever he wants; others are constitutional, meaning there are laws that control what the monarch can do. Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, while many European countries like Belgium and the United Kingdom are constitutional monarchies.
Dictatorship = a form of government where one person rules, but it is not a monarchy (although it may resemble one). It is typically a republic that has been taken over by someone or by a single party represented by one leader, possibly by military means (as in Cuba or China) or by election (as in Nazi Germany). The dictator maintains power by means of government agencies, especially the military and police, and this is typically very oppressive.

Why was dictatorship allowed to occur again after the French Revolution?
The French people had been worn down by the Reign of Terror and the self serving attitude of their new government. They were ready for another change and they elected to place their hopes into the hands of someone believed to be strong, caring, anti royalist and free of the Jacobin influences. A prominent military leader seemed appropriate at the moment.

The earliest and possibly biggest example is the oppression of the Israelites by the Egyptian Pharaoh. They spent 400 years in Egypt, but by the end were placed under harsh working conditions as slaves.
Later as the Israelites entered into Canaan they discovered other nations that had dictatorial rulers. The Persian empire ruled the Jews harshly (see the book of Esther), as did the Babylonians like King Nebuchadnezzar (see the book of Daniel).
The Roman Empire which ruled the Middle East at the time of Jesus also had a structure of government that ended with a dictatorial emperors such as Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius and Nero.

True or false dictatorship is the absence of government?
No dictatorship is a form of government. Anarchism means no leaders in Greek. A dictator which is the ruler in a dictatorship is an authoritarian ruler who assumes sole and absolute power, without a blood line (hereditary or king and queen). Iraq when Saddam was in power it was a dictatorship, but the people elected him into power. The dictator has full power on the government, the state, and the military.
A dicator does not have to be a monarch. They are not the same thing, although a monarch can act as a dictator by their actions. Monarchs usually pass on their leadership by birthright. A dictator will often seize power through a coup and then exercise all the power, controlling everything. Some monarchs may do that too, but most have others that help to run the country, and many are just the head of state and take no major part in the day to day running of the country.
Since the president has not declared martial law, we do not have to worry about it. There is an internet myth, spread by his political opponents on the extreme right, that he has secretly done this, but it is totally false. It is also highly unlikely, in our era of social media, that such an action would ever remain secret for very long. That said, presidents could theoretically declare martial law, but given the structure of our democracy, and our tradition of a free press and the Bill of Rights, such an effort to seize total power would probably not succeed.
