CHAPTER 9.2
Chapter 9.2 is about the time between WW1 and WW2. We call this period (1919 - 1939) "the Interbellum". 
  • We will learn how democracy was challenged when economic crises hit Europe. Several countries turned away from democracy and started their own political experiments, with devastating effects:
  1. Communism in Russia
  2. Fascism in Italy and Spain
  3. National-Socialism in Germany.

  • These new (dictatorial) ideologies would lead Europe to a new World War

The Russian Revolution
Back to Lenin.....

Lenin's plans met with a lot of resistance:

  • - private owners of land and businesses (because the state took them away)
  • - people who were still loyal to the czar (aristocrats, officers)
  • - religious people (because the communists were anti- religion)


This led to a CIVIL WAR (1918 - 1922)
