Totalitarianism in Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union changed these countries in big ways. Here’s how:
Lack of Freedom: In these countries, people who disagreed with the government faced serious consequences. For example, in Germany, the Gestapo hunted down opposition. In the Soviet Union, the NKVD did the same. Free speech hardly existed, and many lived in fear every day.
Manipulation through Propaganda: Leaders like Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler spread a lot of lies to control what people thought. They used propaganda to boost their own power. They highlighted national pride and often changed history to tell it their way.
Strict Social Control: Society was closely watched. In Germany, the Nazi Party influenced everything, even schools and youth groups, to make sure kids were loyal from a young age. In the Soviet Union, people were encouraged to spy on each other.
Heavy Economic Control: The government took charge of the economy, making big changes. But this often meant that people lost their freedoms and rights to own property.
These changes didn’t just affect people in these countries. They also had a lasting impact on politics and society around the world.
