Answer 1

d . Each argued against government regulation of the economy

Answer 2

Answer:

B.Each established a totalitarian government.  

Explanation:

Totalitarianism was a conservative reaction to democracy and political and economic liberalism. Thus, after the disaster of World War I, the idea arose that governments should be strong to be efficient.  It would be up to the citizens to follow in the footsteps of a charismatic leader who would be in charge of conducting national politics. Political parties should not exist, for they were the expression of discord.

Josef Stalin used totalitarianism in order to establish socialism in the Soviet Union. In the same way, Benito Mussolini used totalitarianism to implant the fascist in Italy.
