Italians and Germans believed that their nations needed strong leaders to help them.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two nations of Italy and Germany were not in a good position when their respective fascistic governments had taken over.
Italy had been on the winning side of the first world war but had not gotten a good potion out of the treaty of Versailles.
This meant that they became poor and the economy crashed in the Great Depression after which the discontent of the people made a dictator rise up ad claim power.
Similar was the case of Germany but with the defeat of WW1 making it a case of national pride.
