What do you think was the appeal of fascism, and why did it spread in the post-world war i era?

Fascism rose in Germany and Italy to the point where it could take power. Post-WWI Europe faced hard economic times, high unemployment, shortages and scarcity. Politically, there were grievances coming from the outcome of the war. Exorbitant reparations had been imposed on Germany by the victorious Allies, deemed as totally unfair by Germans, they added to hardship and economic troubles. Germans were angry at being pointed at as responsible for the war. Germans felt humilliated. In Italy, there were grievances following the outcome of the war; though they had sided with France and Britain, Italians felt their country had not been given a fair share of the rewards. So, fascist leaders and movements appealed to the masses, promising economic recovery and prosperity, social stability and restoration of national pride. Their speeches found receptive ears. In 1939, Europe sees war again.
