Answer
The post-war democratic governments were weak. They could not respond properly to the needs and aspirations of the people. The governments under Nitti and Giolitti in Italy were unable to control industrial and agrarian disorders. Popular discontent took the form of strikes and riots.
In Germany the Constituent Assembly, which met at Weimar in 1919, established a liberal democratic government. But from the very beginning Germany was faced with a problem of unstable governments. Between 1919 and 1933, there were as many as 21 Ministries headed by 12 Chancellors (Prime Ministers). The people, therefore, were looking for a strong government, with a firmer economic programme.
