European Dictatorships of the 20th Century
From Lisbon to Moscow, why did dictatorships proliferate in Europe in the last one hundred years? How did European authoritarian regimes come about, repress the opposition and build social consensus? Why did these dictatorships decline and collapsed? Using primary documents and films in addition to academic literature, we will explore the origins, evolution and downfall of the some thirty non-democratic regimes that have existed in Europe since the First World War.
