What was the political climate of the 1930s?

Answer:
There was the threat of the spread of Communism in America. Along with this threat, the Great Depression occurred in the early 30s crippling the world's economy. During the thirties, totalitarian leaders started to gain power, because they claimed to be for the people. Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin were all gaining political power in the thirties. These political conditions led to WWII.
