The Effects of Dictatorial Regimes (WWII)

I believe the way that the information about WWII in the textbook is organized, is the more effective and simple way to display the information. Chapter 24 has a great start, discussing totalitarianism and introducing us to what regimes were imposed at the time. Then we are introduced to the rulers of the time period and what they did with their power. 
Instead of mixing up  the information about all the countries into one large story, the author of this textbook chose to create mini stories; each one telling all the information about that specific country. The author told each side of the story of WWII from each countries perspective. This method of writing, I believe, makes the info easier to take in and learn. 
YES, I do believe that making the Holocaust a distinct section was a good idea because that way, it is separate from everything else and this shows the significance of that period in history and makes the reader pay more attention. The information about the Holocaust being displayed in story form  ( information is mixed together and put into chronologicalorder  like a time line ) would have not been as effective and would have been too much to handle at once. 

The title of my chapter would be The Effects of Dictatorial Regimes (WWII)
