Answer: Netherlands was a Democracy not an authoritarian government

Step-by-step explanation:

Netherlands in the year 1935 had a monarch but political power was centered on parliament which was elected democratically thereby making the Netherlands a democratic country.

Germany and the Soviet Union in 1935 however, were experiencing authoritarian governments in the persons of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin respectively.

These two centralized power and controlled virtually all that happened in the country. They suppressed dissent and used the resources of the state to ensure compliance to their will while sending many to their deaths if they criticized the government.
