Introduction
Between World War I and World War II (1919-1939) many nations suffered economically. The United States was faced with the Great Depression as well as Canada. Germany, Russia, France, England and Italy were dealing with the repercussions from WWI. During this time each country found their own way to deal with the new challenges. Political ideals became the primary focus for each country.
Political ideals include: Democracy, Dictatorships, Totalitarianism, Capitalism, Communism, Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism, Fascism, Left wing politics and Right wing politics. Each ideal has its own philosophy and reason behind them. What is the difference between them?
We are going to explore these ideals in the following unit. We are going to find out their differences, similarities, positives and negatives as well as learn about the people who championed them, how geography played a part and what caused these ideals in the first place.
