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.
