What is tyranny?

Tyranny is the rule by a single authoritative person. Tyrants were appointed in some Greek city-states, including Athens, by popular assent to replace aristocrats who ruled a city-state for their own benefit. However, the tyrant had to have a bodyguard to protect him from attempts by the aristocracy to assassinate him, and to pay the bodyguard he had to levy a tax, which made him less popular. When people's memories of how bad it had been under the aristocracy faded, they would get rid of the tyrant and either revert to the aristocrats or get the idea of a democracy in which they themselves held power.

How did the Fascist party gain control of Germany during the Holocaust?

There's some confusion here. The anti-Jewish Nazi party (which had a broadly Fascist ideology) gained power in January 1933. It began persecuting Jews in April 1933. This culminated in the Holocaust, which (in the view of most historians of the period) began in 1941 or 1942. It didn't end till the Allies liberated the camps towars the end of World War 2.

The Nazis came to power with the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor on 30 January 1933 by President Hindenburg during a prolonged crisis of government in Germany.

Why was it easier for fascism to take hold in Europe than in America?

Fascism did not take hold in Europe per se, so much as take hold of Germany and Italy. The rise to power of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini was due to the people of their respective backgrounds. Hitler offered a rebuilding process after the heavy German loses in WWI, as well as more space for the German people. Mussolini also promised many unfulfilled deeds. Lies are, essentially, what brought these men to power. This power was abused and it grew to dictatorship.

In America, the people have the right to vote. The checks and balances, as well as power restrictions on the president have prevented one man from gaining full and unquestionable power in the United States Government.

What did people have to do in the Nazi execution pit?

Usually there was music playing on the side of the pit where the large quantity of dirt was in the form of a mound obscuring view of the actual executions. The victims were initially brought to this location and forced to undress(sometimes not) and wait while typically small groups were brought around to the actual pit. It is important to note that this form of execution was not widespread due to troop morale issues with executing women and children. The gas vans utilizing redirected exhaust and early carbon monoxide chambers were tested as a grizzly solution to this issue years before the mass executions at camps such as Auschwitz started. Early in the war before the Wansee Conference and during the late war periods in desperation from the impending loss of the war were when these forms of execution were predominately taking place. This is the late period when the Nazis attempted to cover their tracks and exhumed the corpses with the intent of burning the evidence. The victims were brought around to the other side of the pit in small numbers typically and while kneeling near the edge or in the pits were shot in the nape of the neck with a pistol/rifle or they were machine gunned enmasse pending. In the cases of the sondercommandos executed they were so psychologically destroyed they had no feelings on being shot in this manner either at the camps or pits. Of course this was not always the case and there were several uprisings from the sondercommandos at death camps with some being relatively successful, one being Sobibor. Completely horrible and completely atrocious. Sick, twisted and deranged is the only explanation for the mentality of a man wishing to enact this procedure. Pathetic is the man believing orders validates these actions. I don't believe I need to answer the heart of your question. It is fairly obvious what happened once they were in the pit.

Why was the spanish civil war a test of strength between the fascist powers and the democracies?

Because it was a sort of proxy war where the Fascists & Nazis supported the Royalists (Franco's fascist forces) and the Republicans (supporters of the 2nd Spanish Republic, after the king's abdication). The Fascists & Nazis put a lot of force behind Franco (as did a surprising number of Irish fascists), but the Republicans were only "supported" by token Soviet forces & international volunteers (like the Abraham Lincoln Brigades from the USA).

Bear in mind that most of the fascist powers, predominately Hitler, only used the Spanish Civil war to train his military and particularly the Luffewaffe
