Answer:
C) a wealth of natural resources
Explanation:
After World War I (1914-1918), power poles ended (Germany, England, France, Russia, etc.). In America, the United States, with its economy intact, has become the "bankers of the world." In Asia, after the Meiji Revolution (1868), Japan had become industrialized and imperialist and seized the world conflict to extend its power in the region.
In the disbelief of this postwar society, liberal values (individual freedom), political, religious, economic, etc. They began to come under suspicion because of the powerlessness of governments to cope with the capitalist economic crisis that increasingly impoverished the social sector that most defended liberal values: the middle class.
All the euphoria and optimism was replaced by a pessimism that bordered on uncontrolled post war. This pessimism was felt among middle-class intellectuals, and was manifested mainly in anti-Westernism, irrationalism, aggressive nationalism, and the proposal of violent and dictatorial solutions to solve the problems arising from the crisis.
In Italy, Mussolini, and Germany, Hitler formed paramilitary organizations that used violence to dissolve workers' and socialist rallies and demonstrations, with the collusion of the authorities, who saw in discreet support for fascism a means of crushing the "red danger" represented by far left organizations, even moderate ones like the socialists.
At first, these groups that were more or less marginalized used coup attempts to seize power, as was the case with the Munich Putsh by the Nazi Party in Germany.
As the crisis deepened and the state did not eradicate it as it was unable to stifle labor unrest, these fascist and Nazi organizations saw their party membership increase. Capital holders began to finance these right-wing organizations, seeing in their rise a means of crushing leftist claims and the possibility of an imperialist policy to open new markets. By this attitude of the capitalists is meant why both Mussolini and Hitler came to power by legal means.
