There were a variety of reasons for widespread discontent around the world in the early 1900s, including economic inequality, social unrest, political oppression, and imperialism. A strong national government was not necessarily the sole reason for this discontent, although in some cases it did play a role.
In countries where repressive and authoritarian governments were in power, such as in Russia under the Tsar or in Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II, discontent grew due to the lack of political freedoms and economic opportunities for the majority of the population. The rise of movements advocating for democracy, workers' rights, and social justice reflected this discontent with the status quo.
Additionally, the expansion of imperialism and colonialism by powerful nations like Britain, France, and Germany led to exploitation and subjugation of indigenous peoples in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This sparked resistance movements and anti-colonial struggles that were fueled by the desire for self-determination and independence.
Overall, while a strong national government may have contributed to discontent in some cases, it was just one factor among many that led to widespread dissatisfaction and unrest around the world in the early 1900s.
