How did events in Germany, Italy, and Spain in the 1930

After World War I, the German economy was crushed and the Germans were still paying the reparations to both Britain and France. Adolf Hitler takes advantage of this situation and of the German people. He plays on their emotions and becomes the Chancellor of Germany. The first action he takes is to stop reparations to Britain and France. Then he starts to remilitarize Germany which boosts the German economy ten fold. The German people love and support Hitler.
