Answer 1

It created perfect conditions for the rise of aggressive dictators and expansionist policies.

The economic hardships and political instability resulting from the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression fostered an environment where totalitarian regimes, like those in Germany and Italy, could gain support by promising to restore national pride and rectify perceived injustices. This, in turn, led to aggressive expansionist actions that contributed to the outbreak of World War II.
