Why were there so many dictators by coups in power in the 1920's and 30's?
Benito Mussolini of Italy in 1922
Miguel Primo de Rivera of Spain in 1923
Aleksandar Tsankov of Bulgaria in 1923
Josef Stalin of the USSR in 1924 and
António Óscar Carmona of Portugal in 1926
Józef Piłsudski of Poland in 1926
Antanas Smetona of Lithuania in 1926
Theodoros Pangalos of Greece in 1926
Konstantin Päts of Estonia in 1933
Kimon Georgiev of Bulgaria in 1934 and
Francisco Franco of Spain in 1936.
It's just like the frequent coups that occured in the later years, like in the 60's, 70's and 80's in Latin America, Asia and Africa now.
Coups usually happen because the countries are unstable, especially in poverty driven Africa and Asia and the Americas in the early cold-war years.
Did these coups in Europe occur because of WWI somehow and cause them to be unstable.
And could this happen again in Europe with the financial crisis?
I think it could.
