European Dictatorships 1918-1945

European Dictatorships 1918–1945 surveys the extraordinary circumstances leading to, and arising from, the transformation of over half of Europe’s states to dictatorships between the first and the second world wars. New material for this edition includes the most recent research on individual dictatorships, a new chapter on the experiences of Europe’s democracies at the hands of Germany, Italy and Russia, an expanded chapter on Spain, and a new section on dictatorships beyond Europe.

Extensively illustrated with images, maps, tables and a comparative timeline, and supported by a companion website, this is a clear and accessible analysis of the tumultuous events of early 20th-century Europe.
