Economic crisis most clearly contributed to the rise of dictators in Europe and Asia during the 1930s. The Great Depression created widespread economic hardship, high unemployment rates, and social unrest in many countries, which made people more susceptible to the promises of strongman leaders who claimed they could solve these problems and restore order and prosperity. The economic turmoil also weakened democratic institutions and led to political instability, making it easier for authoritarian leaders to rise to power.
