From one teacher to another

Totalitarianism is easy to teach as a checklist of dictators and hard to teach as a warning, and I wanted this one to be the second kind. The interwar years hand a country economic collapse, a wounded sense of national pride, and a government that can't seem to fix either, and that combination is what a totalitarian movement actually needs to take hold, not just a bad leader showing up out of nowhere.

This closes out the interwar section of the WWI unit, right before the class moves into World War II itself, so I built it to be the last domino before the next unit's opening lesson.
