Topic: Rise of Authoritarian Regimes
Essential Question: Was the rise of authoritarian regimes inevitable?

Review:
1. Was the League of Nation a failure?
-What was the League of Nation set up for?

  • Bolsheviks (1917);Stalin (1924)
  • Nazis (1929); Hitler (1933)
  • Showa period (1926); Tanaka Giichi (1927)
