The period between the end of World War I and the start of World War II marked a period of challenge. Europe was mostly devastated from the effects of World War I being fought on the continent. With the worldwide depression and the flux in the stability of political institutions, a vacuum of power was created. Arising to fill in the opportunities would become the world’s most revered and feared dictators. Hitler of Germany would assume control and create a powerful militaristic country that would use groups of people as scapegoats to their national ills. Mussolini of Italy would make the Mediterranean the Italian lake with himself as the central leader. In Russia, the Bolsheviks would assume control and the rise of Lenin and then Stalin would emerge In Asia, a similar cult of personality was emerging. The military assumed more and more control of the Japanese government as the Emperor coalesced. These dictators would take the lives of many of their own people and of others too, cause another world war, and ultimately influence world events well beyond their own lives.
