A treaty is a formal agreement between two or more states in reference to peace, alliance, commerce, or other international relations. The Treaty of Versailles was an agreement reached by all the countries who participated in WWI. Although they agreed to peace, Germany was blamed for fully the war. Germany was stripped of their colonies and they're resources. Right after the war, the United States suffered a depression and couldn't continue lending money to Germany. They needed a person to lead them to recovery.
Adolf Hitler wanted to overthrow the German government and was arrested. Then he stated that Germany had lost because of it's weak government. But, he also blamed problems on outsiders, targeting one main group, the Jews. By 1933, Hitler had controlled part of Germany. He became a dictator and had a group of mainly teenagers, the Nazis, follow his beliefs and killing the people who supposedly caused problems for Germany.
Adolf Hitler's rise, led to fascism. Fascism is the governmental system of a country ran by a dictator. An example of Fascism would be Italy's Benito Mussolini who ultimately formed an alliance with Hitler. He was pronounced Prime Minister by King Victor Emmanuel. He dreamed of military glory in a second world war to come and formed political parties. He centralized all power in himself of the Fascist Party and tried to create an empire. After Italy's lost in WWII, it bought his dream downhill.
