The rise of totalitarian states after World War I was fueled by widespread disillusionment and economic instability following the war. Countries like Germany and Italy faced severe economic hardships, social unrest, and political chaos, leading many to seek strong, authoritarian leadership as a solution. Additionally, the Treaty of Versailles and other post-war agreements left nations feeling humiliated and aggrieved, creating fertile ground for extremist ideologies. This combination of factors allowed totalitarian regimes to gain support by promising stability, national rejuvenation, and a clear direction.
During World War II, several notable dictators from Europe included Adolf Hitler of Germany, Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Francisco Franco of Spain (though Spain was officially neutral during the war). Additionally, there were other authoritarian leaders like Ante Pavelić in Croatia and Ion Antonescu in Romania. Overall, the most prominent dictators directly involved in the conflict were primarily Hitler and Mussolini.
OIL, illegal invasions of other countries and maniacal dictators were the primary reasons. See the detailed answer on the related question below.

Totalitarian thinking is a philosophy concerning how government should be run. The axis states were governments ruled by men who were dictators and who wanted to rule the world.
In western Europe after World War 1 there were three primary totalitarian regimes ruled by dictators: Adolf Hitler in Germany, Benito Mussolini in Italy and Francisco Franco in Spain. In eastern Europe an argument can be made for the Soviet Union's Josef Stalin. All four men wielded absolute dictatorial authority while in power, although only Franco and Stalin held it for any length of time.
Many countries needed the military's help to recover after World War I which led to the rise of totalitarian regimes. The Great Depression left countries vulnerable to dictators. Many Europeans lost faith in their democratic governments. The Great Depression led countries to support new leaders, some of whom were totalitarians.
the dictators had to fight
Dictators were able to rise to power easily during the 1930s because of the recent World War and a world-wide depression. Many people were seeking economic stability, a surplus of food, a strong leader to help them, and some national pride. This is just what dictators like Hitler, Stalin, and Tojo offered.
Dictatorships/Totalitarian governments were established in Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union and Japan due to their condition after World War I. All of these countries suffered large amounts of destruction and damage and were having trouble rebuilding and the citizens of these countries were struggling. So when Dictators, such as Hitler and Mussolini, promised to get the country up and running and "restore their post-World War I glory," they received the support they needed to gain control of the countries.
