Adolf Hitler, Francisco Franco, Benito Mussolini, and Josef Stalin can BEST be described as:
A) allies in the Spanish Civil War.
B) nationalistic, fascist rulers.
C) totalitarian dictators.
D) communist dictators.

The answer is C) Totalitarian dictators.

Explanation:

Many people think that they are all nationalist and fascist rulers, but Francisco Franco believed in a sustained regime, a Franco regime.

Instead, they all maintained in their countries a totalitarian military dictatorship where the power of the State was nothing compared to the power they had, to the point of seeking retaliation against those who tried to expose negatives against their objectives.

Thus exposing their total state control with their regimes.
