The interwar years saw the greatest reversal of political
liberalization and democratization in modern history. Why and how
did dictatorship proliferate throughout Europe and Latin America in
the 1920s and 1930s? Blending perspectives from history,
comparative politics, and cognitive psychology, Kurt Weyland argues
that the Russian Revolution sparked powerful elite groupings that,
fearing communism, aimed to suppress imitation attempts inspired by
Lenin's success. Fears of Communism fueled doubts about the
defensive capacity of liberal democracy, strengthened the
ideological right, and prompted the rise of fascism in many
countries. Yet, as fascist movements spread, their extremity and
violence also sparked conservative backlash that often blocked
their seizure of power. Weyland teases out the differences across
countries, tracing how the resulting conflicts led to the
imposition of fascist totalitarianism in Italy and Germany and the
installation of conservative authoritarianism in Eastern and
Southern Europe and Latin America.
