The 1930s were described as an abrupt shift to more radical lifestyles, as countries were struggling to find a solution to the global [[Great Depression|depression]]. In [[Australia]], this decade was known as the ''Dirty Thirties''. In both [[Central Europe]] and [[Eastern Europe]], [[Fascism]], [[Nazism]], [[Stalinism]],dominated as the solution, the first two adopting war-oriented economic policies and the latter emphasizing heavy industrial development, all of them described as [[totalitarian]] regimes. In [[East Asia]], the rise of [[Militarism]] occurred. In [[Western Europe]], Australia and the [[United States]], more progressive reforms occurred as opposed to the extreme measures sought elsewhere. [[Roosevelt's New Deal]] attempted to use government spending to combat large-scale unemployment and severely negative growth. Ultimately, it would be the beginning of [[World War II]] in [[1939]] that would end the depression.
