What countries had totalitarian in the 1930s?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Soviet Union was the largest totalitarian country in the 1930's. Joseph Stalin was the supreme head of the country, with total control of the country.

Because of his dictatorial powers plus his paranoia, he purged the military, executing most of the General Staff and senior officers in the 1930's. He also forcefully relocated millions of Russians onto collective farms and he murdered millions of Kulucks, which were farmers and were fiercely independent. He also established a vast network of concentration camps, called gulags, in the far east. Millions more died as a result.

Totalitarianism is used to describe a political philosophy that is collectivist in the extreme. Totalitarianism isn't a political philosophy in and of itself, it's more an attribute of political philosophies such as Marxism and Fascism. In a totalitarian state, individuals, families and civil society (unions, religious groups, educational institutions, hospitals etc) only have value in service and in relation to the state. In many cases the totalitarian state that will create and maintain the institutions of civil society and it will not permit any outside its control. These institutions are controlled usually through membership in the ruling party whose totalitarian philosophy directs the state. Individuals in such a state are taught to understand their lives in terms of their belonging and contributing to the state which demands their complete and ultimate loyalty. North Korea is a good example of a totalitarian state, as are most Marxist countries. Nazi Germany was also a totalitarian state. Totalitarian states are typically violent and brutal, with little in the way of freedom and human rights.

A dictatorship on the other hand is rule by one person. In effect, the will of one person becomes law in a state. A state can be both totalitarian and a dictatorship and often is. North Korea is perhaps an example of this. But dictators aren't always totalitarians. They may not have any particular political philosophy. They just don't want anyone contesting their power.

How did totalitarian governments gain power in Europe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nazi Germany: The weakness of democratic institutions and the economic turmoil by the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression in the Weimar Republic of Germany opened the doors for the Nazis under Adolf Hitler to come to power----basically through a democratic election.

Soviet Union: The authoritarian monarchy of the Czarist Russia was cruel and unjust on Russia's poor people, and that galvanize a revolution under VI Lenin. WWI brought the weakness of the Czarist regime and when the February Revolution occured, where hundreds of Russians in St. Petersburg were gunned down by the Czar's Imperial Guards, the Czarist regime ended and opened a power vacuum for Lenin to takeover after the overthrow of the weak provisional government.

Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were Europe's two big totalitarian twins, while all other totalitarian governments were basically propped up either by Soviet or Nazi occupation or through Communist-led post-WWII liberation as in the case in Yugoslavia and Albania.

The country of China has actually a communist government. However, it is slowly transitioning into an oligarchy just like Russia. In an oligarchy, there is no constitution and the people has no right to vote. The government is led by a council or board of directors.
