During the first half of the 20th centuries, many new totalitarian dictators would come to power and come to question whether or not democracy was really the optimal and most efficient way form of government. The model pioneered and promoted by the United States was starting to lose its appeal after events such as the Great Depression came to form. It seemed like a Totalitarian Dictatorial Government was merely more efficient than any other form of government out there. While the United States under Franklin Delano Roosevelt was struggling to fight off the Great Depression, Germany under Chancellor Adolf Hitler were able to get unemployment rates down below 5 percent. Democratic Governments were beginning to lose their appeal when compared to the vastly more efficient Dictatorial governments who could brag low employment rates, reduction of poverty, a higher standard of living, and more social status. However, even with all the given appeals and benefits of a Dictatorial government, its adversely negative effect on the material and moral well-being of the vast majority of its citizens would ultimately lead to its downfall.
Totalitarian Dictatorships were ultimately very taxing on its citizens in a material sense.
