Which statements explains why the great depression helped totalitarian?

The Great Depression created widespread economic hardship, leading to social unrest and disillusionment with democratic governments. This instability made citizens more receptive to totalitarian ideologies that promised strong leadership, economic recovery, and national revitalization. Authoritarian regimes, such as those in Germany and Italy, capitalized on this discontent by offering simple solutions and scapegoating minority groups, ultimately gaining popular support during the crisis. As a result, the economic turmoil facilitated the rise of totalitarianism across several nations.
