Answer:

A totalitarian leads a government that keeps total control over the public in the country.

Step-by-step explanation:

Germany was destroyed after World War I. The Treaty of Versailles imposed Germany to give up colonies, reduce military, and pay reparations. Accepting war responsibility left Germans angry. The economy began to stumble with depression led to unemployment and hyperinflation. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis gained popularity in 1930 when the Weimar government was not able to stand in their terms. Finally, Hitler became the Chancellor and ended democracy.
