The answer is given below.
After the end of the First World War, totalitarian states developed in Russia, Italy, and Germany.
Unlike Italy and Germany, Russian totalitarianism was still based on democratic ideals that can match the western countries. As the defeated powers in world war I, Germany was severely impacted economically and politically. The Allied powers always feared Russian communism and marginalized Russia in war. Italy also suffered a political breakdown inside the country. The failure of governments in Russia and Italy and the burdening Germany with compensation gave rise to totalitarian and fascist regimes that controlled all aspects of individual life and freedom of expression.
